The default multivariate report shows the standard correlation matrix, the scatterplot matrix, and a note about which method was used to estimate the correlations. In some cases, information that explains why the given method was used is also displayed. The platform menu lists additional correlation options and other techniques for looking at multiple variables. See Multivariate Platform Options.

In most of the analysis options, a missing value in an observation does not cause the entire observation to be deleted. However, the Pairwise Correlations option excludes rows that are missing for either of the variables under consideration. The Simple Statistics > Univariate option calculates its statistics column-by-column, without regard to missing values in other columns.
