How is time represented in STATISTICA data files?
Time values of variables are stored as (optional) decimal values representing the fraction of the day since midnight; for example, 6:00AM is stored as 0.25. Time values stored in this manner can be used in subsequent analyses and transformed using arithmetic operations; at the same time, they can be displayed as times in reports or graphs (e.g., used to label scale values). STATISTICA will format the display of time values according to the current settings in the International – Time Format option of the Windows Control Panel. Please refer to the on-line Electronic Manual (click the Help button or press the F1 key in the Variable Specifications dialog) for examples of creating time variables from numeric variables and splitting time variables into numeric variables. How to use date-values as codes (e.g., as values of grouping variables): Some procedures in STATISTICA require that values of grouping variables (codes) be less than 32,000, i.e., less than the Julian values of some dates [
