About

Test calculates the area above and below the curve for a sequential set of readings. Total area is also provided. A fixed baseline can be specified or the first Y value can be used for each dataset.

Requires

Y variables and X variables to be compared. Tests with matching Y and X variables are not allowed. Data for the X variables must be in ascending order.

Feature

Where one value of any data pair is missing, both values are ignored.

Parameters

Area under the curve dialog

Variables

Select one or more Y variables and one or more X variables (See Selecting variables for details). Output will be produced for each pair of Y and X variables, dependant on the block mode selected.

Pairing

Defines how the Y variables and X variables are compared. (See Performing multiple analyses for details)
