NPAR TESTS performs nonparametric tests.
If the /STATISTICS subcommand is also specified, then summary statistics are
produces for each variable that is the subject of any test.
+Certain tests may take a long time to execute, if an exact figure is required.
+Therefore, by default asymptotic approximations are used unless the
+subcommand /METHOD=EXACT is specified.
+Exact tests give more accurate results, but may take an unacceptably long
+time to perform. If the TIMER keyword is used, it sets a maximum time,
+after which the test will be abandoned, and a warning message printed.
+The time, in minutes, should be specified in parentheses after the TIMER keyword.
+If the TIMER keyword is given without this figure, then a default value of 5 minutes
+is used.

+If the @code{WITH} keyword is omitted, then tests for all

+If the @code{WITH} keyword is given, and the @code{(PAIRED)} keyword
+is also given, then the number of variables preceding @code{WITH}
+must be the same as the number following it.
+In this case, tests for each respective pair of variables are

+@cindex Cronbach's Alpha
+The @cmd{RELIABILTY} command performs reliablity analysis on the data.
+
+The VARIABLES subcommand is required. It determines the set of variables
+upon which analysis is to be performed.
+
+The SCALE subcommand determines which variables reliability is to be
+calculated for. If it is omitted, then analysis for all variables named
+in the VARIABLES subcommand will be used.
+Optionally, the @var{name} parameter may be specified to set a string name
+for the scale.
+
+The MODEL subcommand determines the type of analysis. If ALPHA is specified,
+then Cronbach's Alpha is calculated for the scale. If the model is SPLIT,
+then the variables are divided into 2 subsets. An optional parameter
+@var{N} may be given, to specify how many variables to be in the first subset.
+If @var{N} is omitted, then it defaults to one half of the variables in the
+scale, or one half minus one if there are an odd number of variables.
+The default model is ALPHA.
+
+By default, any cases with user missing, or system missing values for
+any variables given
+in the VARIABLES subcommand will be omitted from analysis.
+The MISSING subcommand determines whether user missing values are to
+be included or excluded in the analysis.
+
+The SUMMARY subcommand determines the type of summary analysis to be performed.
+Currently there is only one type: SUMMARY=TOTAL, which displays per-item
+analysis tested against the totals.
