Best Fit Point List

The points list is located at the bottom of the Best Fit Dialog. The point list is a table that contains all points that were found to have matching pairs between the reference and corresponding groups. Immediately above this list, in the Columns section, are three checkboxes: Nominals, Actuals, and Weights. Checking any of these boxes will display the corresponding values in the table. Any column can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column header.

The columns in the point list are described here:

Each point in the fit has a checkbox next to its name in the point list. Deselecting this checkbox will remove the point from the fit, which means that it will have no influence in the final solution. It is standard procedure to remove erroneous points from the fit so as not to corrupt the overall solution. If a point is removed from the fit, it will be grayed out in the point list.
