Value Labels

If you recall our sample data set there are cartoon characters from various movies. Notice that some of the cartoon characters are "animals" (for example, Bugs Bunny) and some are human (for example, Mad Hatter). We eventually want to test the difference between "animals" and "humans" on the fake data. Consequently, we need to identify these two groups. Further, we would like to have a label that identifies each "subject" as either "animal" or "human." The next graphic shows that we have already entered the name as group, the type as numeric and we are ready to give value labels to the group numbers. We are going to give the animals the value of 1 and the humans the value of 2. We will then identify a 1 as animal and 2 as human using Value Labels.
