@subsection Input and Output Formats

An @dfn{input format} describes how to interpret the contents of an
input field as a number or a string. It might specify that the field
contains an ordinary decimal number, a time or date, a number in binary

The basic numeric formats are used for input and output of real numbers
in standard or scientific notation. The following table shows an
example of how each format displays positive and negative numbers with

The custom currency formats are closely related to the basic numeric
formats, but they allow users to customize the output format. The
SET command configures custom currency formats, using the syntax

The binary and hexadecimal formats are primarily designed for

In PSPP, a @dfn{time} is an interval. The time formats translate
between human-friendly descriptions of time intervals and PSPP's
internal representation of time intervals, which is simply the number of

The REGRESSION procedure fits linear models to data via least-squares

assumptions typical in linear regression:
