debate.sav. This is a hypothetical data le that concerns paired responses to a survey from
attendees of a political debate before and after the debate. Each case corresponds to a separate
respondent.

debate.sav. Each case corresponds to a cross-classication of preference before and after
the debate.

efforts to compile a database of survey information. Each case corresponds to a different
