1. Frequency Tables
Overview
The frequency of a particular observation is the number of times the observation occurs in the data. The
distribution of a variable is the pattern of frequencies of the observation.
Frequency distribution tables can be used for both categorical and numeric variables. Use numeric codes
or strings to code categorical variables (nominal or ordinal level measurements).
Order by. The frequency table can be arranged according to the actual values in the data or according to
the count (frequency of occurrence) of those values, and the table can be arranged in either ascending or
descending order.

To take part into Welchs test, a group must have non zero variance. Moreover, sample sizes of a group
have to be greater than or equal to 2.
For further details, see Methods and Formulas Help: Welchs Test for equality of means.
Remark: ISSTATS does not cancel a test if any of the groups does not fulfill the conditions. It simply
rejects the group. To take part into an ANOVA test, a group must have at least one element. To take part
into a Welchs Test, a group must have at least two elements; moreover, the group must have a non-zero
variance. Thus, ISSTATS may use 4 of the groups to perform ANOVA Test but only 2 of the groups to
perform a Welchs Test. It depends on the number of elements of each group. You should read the
Descriptive Statistics information to check the Rejected Groups and also should read the Total Groups
info of each test to check the number of groups being used in that test.

Exclude cases pairwise. Cases with missing values for one or both of a pair of variables for a
correlation coefficient are excluded from the analysis. Since each coefficient is based on all cases
that have valid codes on that particular pair of variables, the maximum information available is
used in every calculation. This can result in a set of coefficients based on a varying number of
cases.
Exclude cases listwise. Cases with missing values for any variable are excluded from all

Remark: All tests use pairwise deletion mode, thus the statistical procedure uses cases that contain some
missing data. A case may contain 3 variables: VAR1, VAR2, and VAR3. A case may have a missing
value for VAR1, but this does not prevent some statistical procedures from using the same case to analyze
variables VAR2 and VAR3. Pairwise deletion allows you to use more of your data. However, each

Remarks
The time series is supposed homogeneous or equally spaced. Missing values are removed from the
series.
The daily returns should be computed as Continuously Compounded Return: ln(Si/Si-1).
The time series should have more than 50 values.
When computing EWMA volatility, ISSTATS assumes that the time series has an average equal
to zero; but it does not assumes the average is zero when computing the VaR (VaR = + z).
ISSTATS does not use the recursive formula for EWMA; hence it does not compute any initial
variance.

Output Value
The triple exponential moving average formula is useful for eliminating short and insignificant cycles in
the data. It smoothes the data three times using the Exponential Moving Average Formula, and then
calculates the rate of change in the moving average based on the result for the previous day.
Parameters
Period: Period for calculating the exponential moving average for the triple exponential moving
average indicator.
Input Values
Price: Price for which the triple exponential moving average indicator is calculated.

The weighted moving average formula is a moving average of data that gives more weight to the more
recent data in the period and less weight to the older data in the period. This formula smoothes a data
series. This makes analyzing volatile data easier.
Parameters

The negative volume index formula helps identify a bull market. When the negative volume index is
above its moving average there is higher probability for a bull market. The probability for a bull market is
much lower when the negative volume index is below its moving average.
This formula should be used together with the Positive Volume Index Formula.

ANALYZE MENU InnerSoft STATS
The performance formula calculates the rate of price change compared with historical data. It differs from
the Rate of Change Formula in that it calculates rate of change against the first available data. The output
is a percentage.
This formula can also be used to calculate the rate of volume change.
Input Values
Price: Price for which the performance indicator is calculated. It can be any other data for which
you wish to calculate the performance indicator, such as volume.
Output Value
The positive volume index formula helps identify a bear market. When the positive volume index is
below its moving average there is higher probability for a bear market. The probability for a bear market
is much lower when the positive volume index is above its moving average.
This formula should be used together with the Negative Volume Index Formula.

The rate of change formula calculates the rate of price change compared with historical data. It differs
from the Performance Formula in that it calculates the rate of change against a period of days prior to the
current price. The output is a percentage.
This formula can also be used to calculate the rate of volume change.
Parameters
Period: Number of days prior to the current day. The formula uses the data from that day as a
reference when calculating the current rate of change. The default value is 10.
Input Values
Price: Price for which the rate of change is calculated. It can be any other data for which you wish
to calculate the rate of change, such as volume.
Output Value
The relative strength index formula is a momentum oscillator formula that compares upward movements
of the close price with downward movements, and outputs values from 0 to 100. A value close to 100
indicates that the price is about to move downward, and a value close to 0 indicates that the price is about
to move upward.

William's %R Formula
The William's %R formula is a momentum indicator, and is used to measure over-bought or oversold
levels. This indicator is very similar to the stochastic %K indicator, except that the Williams %R formula
calculates a negative value between 0 and -100 and does not smooth the data.
Parameters
Period: Period for calculating the Williams %R indicator. The default value is 14.

Available Variables list shows numeric data columns containing at least one no-missing value.
Data. The dependent and independent variables should be quantitative. Categorical variables need to be
recoded to binary (dummy) variables or other types of contrast variables.
Settings Tab
Confidence Interval. Enter a value between 0,0001 and 0,9999 to specify the confidence level for the
ANOVA test and Prediction Intervals. Entering 0,9 will result in a 90% confidence interval. The default is
0,95 = 95%.
Include constant in equation. By default, the regression model includes a constant term. Deselecting this
option forces regression through the origin, which is rarely done. Some results of regression through the
origin are not comparable to results of regression that do include a constant. For example, R 2 cannot be
interpreted in the usual way.
Output Descriptive. Provides the number of valid cases, the mean, and the standard deviation for each
variable in the analysis.

Save Tab
You can save predicted values, residuals, and other statistics useful for diagnostic information. Each
selection adds one or more new variables to your active data file.
Unstandardized Predicted Values. The value the model predicts for the dependent variable.
Prediction Intervals for Mean. Lower and upper bounds (two variables) for the prediction interval
of the mean predicted response.
Prediction Intervals for Individual. Lower and upper bounds (two variables) for the prediction
interval of the dependent variable for a single case.
Standardized Predicted Values. A transformation of each predicted value into its standardized
form. That is, the mean predicted value is subtracted from the predicted value, and the difference
is divided by the standard deviation of the predicted values. Standardized predicted values have a
mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Mahalanobis Distances. A measure of how much a case's values on the independent variables
differ from the average of all cases. A large Mahalanobis distance identifies a case as having
extreme values on one or more of the independent variables.
Cook's Distances. A measure of how much the residuals of all cases would change if a particular
case were excluded from the calculation of the regression coefficients. A large Cook's D indicates
that excluding a case from computation of the regression statistics changes the coefficients
substantially.
Centered Leverage values. Measures the influence of a point on the fit of the regression. The
centered leverage ranges from 0 (no influence on the fit) to (N-1)/N.
Unstandardized Residuals. The difference between an observed value and the value predicted by
the model.
Standardized Residuals. The residual divided by an estimate of its standard deviation.
Standardized residuals, which are also known as Pearson residuals, have a mean of 0 and a
standard deviation of 1.
Studentized Residuals. The residual divided by an estimate of its standard deviation that varies
from case to case, depending on the distance of each case's values on the independent variables
from the means of the independent variables.
To get predicted values for cases that were not used in the regression analysis, provide rows with values
in the predictor variables and missing values in the response variable.
