The Dataverse Network Project

When a subsettable data file is uploaded for a study, the DVN code calculates summary statistics for each variable within that data file. On any tab of the Data File page, you can view the summary statistics for each variable in the data file. Information listed comprises the following:

• For continuous variables, the application calculates summary statistics that are listed in the DDI schema.
• For discrete variables, the application tabulates values and their labels as a frequency table.
  Note, however, that if the number of categories is more than 50, the values are not tabulated.
• The UNF value for each variable is included.

To view summary statistics for a variable:

1. In the Data File page, click any tab.
2. On the right side of the tab, use the Show drop-down list to select one of the following options to show variables in predefined quantities: All, 50, 20, or 10.
3. Scroll down the page and locate a variable for which you choose to view summary statistics. Then, click the Summary Statistics icon for that variable to toggle the summary information on and off.
