Good morning listers,
I have a dataset of 1500 respondents with their status on 7 ordinal variables that are supposed to represent cardiac health. Although Males and Females have similar total composite scores on average, I want to know if genders (Males/Females) have similar profiles for 7 components of the composite score. I ran BIPLOT8 for males and then females and obtained the following:
Males:
biplot8 BMI SMOKE DIET ACTIVITY GLUCOSE CHOLESTEROL BPRESSURE if rank == 1 & gender == 1, varonly
Females:
biplot8 BMI SMOKE DIET ACTIVITY GLUCOSE CHOLESTEROL BPRESSURE if rank == 1 & gender == 2, varonly
It looks like Cholesterol is behaving differently for Males and Females so I ran the following command (with subpopulation option) to see where my gender groups fall. This is where I am having difficulties. What do the extra line represent? My gender variable is coded 1 and 2.
biplot8 BMI SMOKE DIET ACTIVITY GLUCOSE CHOLESTEROL BPRESSURE if rank == 1, varonly subpop(gender)
