Specifying factors for existing elements
Displaying a mean based on factors provides an example of basing a mean on the factor values stored for the elements in the metadata. This example shows you how to specify factor values in the axis specification.
This example defines factors for the elements in the Household Size (hhsize) variable and creates a special mean element based on the factors you have defined.
hhsize{HH_1 [Factor=1],
HH_2 [Factor=2],
HH_3 [Factor=3],
HH_4 [Factor=4],
HH_5 [Factor=5],
HH_6 [Factor=6],
HH_7 [Factor=7],
Mean 'Average number' mean()}
