Perform Advanced Analysis

To run statistical models for selected variables:

  1. In the Subset and Analysis page, click the Advanced Statistical Analysis tab.
  2. Scroll down the screen and click the check boxes to select variables from the table of available values. When you select a variable, it is added to the Selected Variables box at the top of the tab.
    To remove a variable from this box, deselect it from the Variable Type list at the bottom of the screen.
    To select all variables, click the check box beside the column name, Variable Type.
  3. Select a model from the Choose a Statistical Model drop-down list.
  4. Select one variable in the Selected Variables box, and then click the applicable arrow button to assign a function within that analysis model to that variable.
    You see the name of the variables in the appropriate function box.
    Note: Some functions allow a specific type of variable only, while other functions allow multiple variable types. Types include Character, Continuous, and Discrete. If you assign an incorrect variable type to a function, you see an Incompatible type error message.
  5. Repeat the variable and function assignments until your model is complete.
  6. Select your Output and Analysis options.
  7. Click the Run Model button.
    If prompted, check the I accept box and then click the Continue button to accept the Terms of Use. Then, click Run Model again.
    You see the Dataverse Analysis page.
  8. Under Citation Information about the data set, click Citation Info to display various methods of citation for the study's replication data.
    Under Results, click Descriptive Statistics to check each model's estimation results and descriptive statistics, if applicable. You also can click Show log to view the R log file, and click the e-mail link to contact the Dataverse Admin about these results.
