Categorical Regression Plots<br />

The Plot dialog box allows you to specify the variables that will produce transformation<br />

and residual plots.<br />

Figure 2.8 Categorical Regression Plot dialog box<br />

Transformation Plots. For each of these variables, the category quantifications are plotted<br />

against the original category values. Empty categories appear on the horizontal axis<br />

but do not affect the computations. These categories are identified by breaks in the line<br />

connecting the quantifications.<br />

Residual Plots. For each of these variables, residuals (computed for the dependent variable<br />

predicted from all predictor variables except the predictor variable in question) are<br />

plotted against category indicators and the optimal category quantifications multiplied<br />

with beta against category indicators.<br />

CATREG Command Additional Features<br />

You can customize your categorical regression if you paste your selections into a syntax<br />

window and edit the resulting CATREG command syntax. <strong>SPSS</strong> command language<br />

also allows you to:<br />
