• Structure of SPSS macros for the computation of SE:– Selection of variables (DEP=)– Iteration of the SPSS procedure on the final

weight and 80 (default) replicates (NREP=)– Data files manipulation and computation of the

SE– Computation of limits if required– Selection of statistics (STAT=)

• Use of the limit criteria– Number of students– Number of schools– Number of variables of the BYVAR statement

for defining the population of reference
