Suppose we gave four columns of factor scores, f1av to f4av, which we wish plot for each of two clusters, cluster membership forming a sixth column, as in the table below.

How do I do a multiple line plot of cluster profiles?

Suppose we gave four columns of factor scores, f1av to f4av, which we wish plot for each of two clusters, cluster membership forming a sixth column, as in the table below. [attachment:lines.doc A bit of editing in the chart editor yields this.]

A multiple line plot can be drawn using the syntax below.

VARSTOCASES                                          
/MAKE score FROM f1av TO f4av.                        
LIST.

compute facno=$casenum.
compute facno=mod(facno,4).
if(facno eq 0) facno=4.
