Now you can treat Nominal and Ordinal variables as waves in statistical tests.
- Select your wave variable set in the Data Sources tree
- Toggle on “Treat as wave in statistical tests” in the Object Inspector.
- 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.
Related features:
- The Data Preparation Agent will identify variable sets that should be treated as waves and automatically toggle the "Treat as wave in statistical tests" setting on.
- The "Treat as wave in statistical tests" setting will be automatically triggered if you try to convert a Nominal or Ordinal variable set to Date/Time and it can’t be converted.
- Similar functionality coming soon to Binary - Multi variable sets (useful if you report rolling averages)
