This is the menu for the Weight data window.
Used to open, close, and save a new data file with the weights:
Open a raw data file to add weights. If a data file is already open it will be closed first.
Save the raw data file with any calculated weights and keep a copy of the original file in the Archive folder.
Save the raw data file with any calculated weights to a new data file.
Close this window. You may see Weight save with a reminder of any information that has not yet been saved.
Used to control the targets for weighting and where to store the weights:
Invokes the Weight targets window to set the targets.
Invokes the Entry details window to create a new float question to store the calculated weights in. If the data file has already been opened it will be reloaded to include the new question. You must save the updated project when the weighting is finished to save the added weight entry.
Invokes Entry choose to select an existing float entry where the calculated weights will be stored.
Saves the target information to a weighting file so that it can be reloaded at a later date.
Loads the target information from a weighting file. Any faulty entry references will be ignored.
Used to calculate the weights to achieve the targets set:
Checks the data for each target and reports any data records without a target set or any targets with no data.
Presets weights for any records with zero or maximum efficiency weights.
Presets other records weights to an identical value, usually 1.0.
Any existing weights in the chosen float question will be used as the starting point for the calculations.
Do a set number of calculation iterations. The process will stop once the required level of precision (significant digits) is achieved for all the targets. Can be repeated if more iterations are needed.
Do one calculation iteration only. You should never need to use this option.
This amends the calculated weights to be what they will be after they have been saved to the data. This will not normally affect the results unless insufficient data width has been allowed for the float question so that some significant digits are lost when each weight is stored in the data.
