The Frequencies Report<br />

For nominal <strong>and</strong> ordinal variables, the Frequencies report lists the levels of the variables, along with the<br />

associated frequency of occurrence <strong>and</strong> probabilities.<br />

For each level of a categorical (nominal or ordinal) variable, the Frequencies report contains the information<br />

described in Table 2.3. Missing values are omitted from the analysis.<br />
