Several Independent Samples Define Range dialog box
To define the range, enter integer values for Minimum and Maximum that correspond to the lowest
and highest categories of the grouping variable. Cases with values outside of the bounds are
excluded. For example, if you specify a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 3, only
the integer values of 1 through 3 are used. The minimum value must be less than the maximum
value, and both values must be specified.
