Ordered-Categorical Data
The changes that were just made to the categories and the interval boundaries are now
reflected in the frequency table at the bottom of the Data Recode window.
The frequency table shows how the values that appear in the data file will be recoded
before Amos reads them. Reading the frequency table from top to bottom:
An empty string will be treated as a missing value.
The strings SD and D will be recoded as <0, meaning that the underlying numeric
score is less than 0.
A will be recoded as 0<<1, meaning that the underlying numeric score is between
0 and 1.
SA will be recoded as >1, meaning that the underlying numeric score is greater
than 1.
