IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

Syntax

object.Specran ()

object.Specran (tf)

The Specran method syntax has the following parts:

Part

Description

object

An object of type AmosEngine.

tf

Optional. If tf is True (default), the special random number generator is used. If tf is False, the random number generator of Wichman and Hill (1982) is used.

 

Placement: [1].

Default

The random number generator of Wichman and Hill (1982) is used.

Remarks

The random number generator that the Specran method invokes is not very good. It should not be used except to replicate an example in which the Specran method (or the $specran command of Amos 3.61 or earlier) was used.
