Estimating Variances and Covariances
As you scroll across the worksheet, you will see all of the test variables from the Attig
study. This example uses only the following variables: recall1 (recall pretest), recall2
(recall posttest), place1 (place recall pretest), and place2 (place recall posttest).
EAfter you review the data, close the data window.
EIn the Data Files dialog box, click OK.
Analyzing the Data
In this example, the analysis consists of estimating the variances and covariances of the
recall and place variables before and after training.
