Appends a list of vectors of the same data type into a single vector.
Data Type
Selects which type of data is to be appended. You can append variates, texts,
or factors.
Data to Append
Used to enter the names of the vectors to be appended.
The
button allows multiple selections to be copied from
Available Data.
New data name
Name of vector to store the appended data.
Match values of factor by
How to match the values of old factors. If Labels is selected and the
levels of the selected factors are compatible (that is, if each label
corresponds to the same level in all the selected factors) then the level
definitions are copied to the new factor; otherwise default levels
1,2,...,etc. are generated and a warning is printed. If Levels is
selected the labels are retained if they are compatible, otherwise they are
discarded and no warning is given. If Ordinals is selected the levels of
all the factors are taken as ordinal values 1,2,...,etc. and no labels are
defined. If Renumbered is selected then it is assumed that selected
factors all have independent sets of levels and renumbers these uniquely such
that the new factor will have a different level for every level of the
selected input factors.
Save Grouping
Factor to represent the vector to which each unit originally belonged.
