pmax .
Figure 2.7. Specification of a new (categorising) variable, PClass, inserted after
PMax in STATISTICA.
The presence of the equal sign, preceding the expression, indicates that one
wants to compute a formula and not merely assign a text label to a variable. One
can also build arbitrarily complex formulas in STATISTICA, using a large number
of predefined functions (see button ons Functi in Figure 2.7).
