Collect Measures

Fathom Reference > Fathom Menus > Collection Menu > Collect Measures

Available when a collection with measures defined has been selected.

This command creates a new (measures) collection of five cases whose attributes are the measures from the source collection. (This command forces the source to rerandomize, resample, or rescramble each time a set of measures are collected.) The attributes from this collection can be dropped into graphs and other Fathom objects in the same way as from any other collection.

This is the command you need when you want to build up a sampling distribution of a statistic (measure).

Inspect the collection to change the default settings.

Using this command is equivalent to dropping a source collection’s measure onto an empty collection.
