Analyzing Multiple Responses

[carla...@yahoo.com]

I am analyzing multiple response questions in SPSS. I've figured out
how to use the multiple response frequencies (for dichotomy
variables), but I'm not sure what the results are telling me.

There is a Percent column, and a Percent of Cases column. Does anyone
know the difference betweeen the two columns? I know that the percent
of cases are the percent of total "occurrences" for that particular
variable.

But what does the Percent column represent?

Thanks for your comments.

Well, what does it match up with?
And what are the possibilities for a denominator?

I think you are looking at the percentage of
all positive responses.

Hi
Percent column means coresspounding value dividing with total.
It means coresspounding variable is contribution in overall selection
of ones in dichotomas.

Percent of cases means for that variable having ones divided by total
number of observations in that variable.
