[{it:{help if}}]

{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:cmvom} performs a test of each configuration's mean entered in
{it:configurations} with the outcome versus the mean of all other
configurations.  The "all other" configuration score is computed by taking the
maximum value of every configuration except for the configuration to be tested.
Each configurations' mean is calculated by weighting by the membership of each
configuration.  The configurations do not need to exist in the dataset, but
their individual single, capital letter versions must exist.


{title:Options}

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:sigonly} displays only those configurations that have significantly
different means.	

{p 4 8 2}
{opt slevel(#)} changes the significance level to be used in determining
{cmd:sigonly}. The default is {cmd:slevel(.05)}.

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:greater(col1} | {cmd:col2)} displays only those configurations in which the
specified column value is greater than the other column value.  {cmd:col1}
is always the mean with the outcome, while {cmd:col2} is the mean of the
"all other" configuration.

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:last} uses the outcome variable and configurations (or sets) from the last
run {cmd:fuzzy} or {cmd:settest()} option call as {it:outcomevar} and
{it:configurations}.  When this option is specified, {it:outcomevar} and
{it:configurations} should not be entered. Specifically, it uses the last
displayed set of configurations.  Thus, when using this option, a
{cmd:settest()} option must have been invoked on the last call to {cmd:fuzzy}
or just run as a stand-alone command.  When {cmd:last} is used, only those last
displayed configurations will be used in the test. 

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:usereduction} uses the outcome variable and reduced configurations from
the last run {cmd:reduce} command for the means test.	       

{pstd}
Note: The "all other" configuration is calculated using the set of
configurations entered. Thus, if a limited set of configurations is used, each
of the configurations will be tested against all others in this set.
