Now you can treat Nominal and Ordinal variables as waves in statistical tests.
  1. Select your wave variable set in the Data Sources tree
  2. Toggle on “Treat as wave in statistical tests” in the Object Inspector.
  3. The variable set will be set to ‘compare against previous period’ in tests of statistical significance in the same way as Date/Time variables are.
