Conditional Functions
IfMin
Evaluates the first of each pair of arguments and returns the evaluation of the result expression (the second
of each pair) associated with the minimum of the expressions. If more than one expression is the minimum,
the first minimum is returned. If all expressions are missing and a final result is not specified, missing is
returned. If all expressions are missing and a final result is specified, that final result is returned. The test
expressions must evaluate to numeric values, but the result expressions can be anything.
And &
Evaluates as 1 when both of its arguments are true. Otherwise, it evaluates as 0. (See Figure B.9.) The
formula in Figure B.7 labels Group 1 as drivers only if both comparisons are true.
Figure B.7 Creating an And Function
Or |
Evaluates as 1 when either of its arguments is true. If both of its arguments are false, then the Or expression
evaluates as 0. (See Figure B.9.) The formula in Figure B.8 assigns males and all participants who are more
than 13 years old to Group 1.
Figure B.8 Creating an Or Function
The truth tables on the left in Figure B.9 illustrate the results of the And (&) and Or (|) functions when
both arguments have nonmissing values that evaluate to true or false. The table on the right illustrates the
result when either the left or right expression (call them a and b) or both have missing values.
