4.13 HOTELLING'S 7’ for paired samples = one-sample
‘When you test paired samples you should start by calculating the differences Yaw between your
Variables using the Transform module (see chapter 2.2 B).
Hotelling’s T° is testing the differences against zero (.¢. whether there exist differences or not)

2.3 Transforming variables
In the Transform menu you'll find options for recoding variables, creating new variables from old
‘ones or e4. dividing “scale variables" into casses,
A) Create a new variable by using another variable (recoding, class dividing etc.)
TRANSFORM - Recode Into Different Variables (both the new and the original will be saved)
> Example: divide an age variable into classes => To divide age into e.g, two classes (under 30
‘and 30 or above) choose:
Input variable: age (choose fiom the list tothe lef, cick=)
Output Variable ~ Name: agectoss (givo a name for the new variable)
Change.
Old and New Values
Choose one of "Range" — option buttons at a time in order to define the limits for each interval
Define the corresponding class number for the interval (eg. 0-29 becomes 1. 30-becomes 2)
and press Add.
Old Values: ‘New Values: Old -> New:
Define class 1: * Range: Lowest through value 29 > *Value:T > > Add
Define class 2:*Allothervalues > > > ‘*Value:2 > > Add
Add also: * System-missing > > > *System-missing > Add
Continue OK
=> a newvvariable, agesiass, has been created last in the data fle.
Move to Variable view and define VALUES for ageciass according to the coding, and change
MEASURE=ordinal for the new variable.
B) Numerical calculations (sum, logarithm, change of a scale etc.)
TRANSFORM - Compute:
> Example 1. Change.a scale going from 1=often to 5=never to go from 5=often to T=never by
‘subtracting the values from 6:
‘Target variable: newvar (a new name is given forthe variable)
Numeric Expression: 6 —“the old variable" (choose from the ist tothe lett, cick)
> Example 2. Calculate age from year of birth => subtract the year ofbirth from present year
‘Target variable: age (a new name is given for the variable)
Numeric Expression: 2012 - yearofbirth (choose yearo®yrth from the lst to the left click)
