Step 6 – Configuring the COMPARE Report Setup
The Report Setup screen allows the analyst to customize the output reports. There are five major
specifications that the analyst can customize: Output Reports, Outlier Analysis, Group Heading
Specifications, Data Worksheets, and Report Header.
Report Setup
1. Output Reports: By default,
COMPARE generates a
comprehensive library of
reports. However, there are
three reports that are not
automatically generated. These
are all raw statistical outputs
from the regression analysis, tTest analysis, and the liabilities
analysis.
Analysts who wish to evaluate
these detailed reports can select
them from the Output Reports
options.
2. Outlier Analysis: COMPARE
identifies outliers by computing
their standardized z-values to
determine how far a value may
be from the mean. By default,
COMPARE only flags outliers
that exceed 1.96 standard
deviation units without
specifying the exact z-value.
Analysts who wish to evaluate the actual z-scores may obtain them by selecting the Outlier Analysis
option.
3. Group Heading Specifications: By default, COMPARE labels the group headings as either Focal or
Reference.
Analysts may choose to customize their reports by entering more specific labels based upon the
analyses being conducted.
4. Data Worksheets: In the output reports workbook, COMPARE does not automatically include the
analysis dataset or copies of the original data.
If the analyst desires to replicate the analysis data in the output workbook, it is possible to request
copies of the original data:
•
Analysis Data is the subset of variables and values specified in Step 5 (Analysis Setup).
•
Copy of Original is a copy of the original dataset in its entirety.
5. Report Header: COMPARE includes an Attorney-Client Privileged header across all reports. The
analyst may change this header by editing the field, though it is recommended to leave it in place.
