Subject:      Is it Possible To Change Bases in Standard Statistical
              Significance Testing?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Is it possible, within SPSS, to change the bases in standard statistical
significance testing?  For example, I will be running multiple
correlation runs based on weighted data.  When the correlations are
statistically tested I need to base these on new bases that are not
exactly unweighted bases but close.  They are called "effective ns" and
I can calculate them myself pretty easily.

 

I could program this myself, but I wanted to first see if it could be
done somewhat automatically with the built-in SPSS procedures for
correlations.

 

The same question would apply to independent t-tests, simple ANOVAs, and
statistical significance testing in CTABLEs too.

 

Thank you in advance.
