Multi-Group Analysis

Post by erikmonness »

There is a description that one can do Multi-Group Analysis. However, no “how”. The window that opens tells me to “select group”, and Groups A and groups B. But I find no option ta actually do so, like selecting a grouping variable. There are just red rectangles with a warning to “please select at least one entry” But how? The only action on the window is to tick “select all”

Hi,
To make multigroup analysis (ex, gender ), double click on your date --> Generate date group --> group column 0 (select gender) then OK.

After identifying the grouping variable, now go to your model, calculate function --> multi group analysis (MGA) --> Group A (select gender_1) and Group B (select gender_2) then at the same funcion go to bootstrapping and select complete bootstrapping --> finely click start calculation.

Greetings
