Stack Attributes

Fathom Reference > Fathom Menus > Collection Menu > Stack Attributes

Creates a new collection that will convert multiple attributes into two by “stacking” the cases on top of one another.

For example, if you have students’ heights in two attributes, one for girls’ heights, the other for boys’, stacking will produce a collection with sex in one attribute and height in the other. (When the data do not consist of matched pairs, then arbitrarily matching them produces cases, no meaning and prevents analysis of them as unmatched pairs.)
