1. Can both Logarithmic and Linear
transformations be performed in the same run of MRSCAL? |
Although both options are available in the
Input Wizard for MRSCAL the program will only run one transformation at a
time. Re-run the data for each transformation if both are required. |
2. Why , when using WOMBATS with
"Dichotomous" level of measurement, does the program fail to run even though
my values are dichotomous? |
The only dichotomous values
WOMBATS will accept are 0,1. If you have other values such as 1,2 you will
need to re-code them into 0,1 values. |
3. When I add labels either to the
Wizard''s input file matrix or into the run script, my points still only
have numbers rather than full labels. How can I display the full label?
|
This is probably because your
label variables start with a number, i.e. 1 name, 2 age. To display the
label text omit the number; i.e. name, age. Note that in the Graphic Display
screen you can use the "Label" command to determine the number of characters
in each label and to change the font and point size. |
4.
When I click in my output file to create a graphic I get the error message "
'*' is not a valid floating point value" and no graphic is produced. Why? |
This occurs if you have
insufficient labels for the number of stimuli; e.g. 16 stimuli but 15
labels. In this example if you check the output file you will see that the
value for Label 16 is '*', and hence the error message. |
5.
When I click in my output file to create a graphic I get the error message "
'' is not a valid floating point value" and no graphic is produced. Why? |
This occurs if one or more of
your labels contain a "space"; e.g. "manual labourer". Either omit the space
or use an underscore e.g. "manuallabourer" or "manual_labourer". |
