The HPSEVERITY Procedure

Displayed Output

The HPSEVERITY procedure optionally produces displayed output by using the Output Delivery System (ODS). All output is controlled by the PRINT= option in the PROC HPSEVERITY statement. Table 5.7 relates the ODS tables to PRINT= options.

PRINT= Option

If the PRINT= option is not specified, then by default PROC HPSEVERITY produces the ModelSelection, PerformanceInfo, ConvergenceStatus, OptimizationSummary, StatisticsOfFit, and ParameterEstimates ODS tables.

You can specify the following values for the PRINT= option:

PRINT=ALLFITSTATS

displays the comparison of all the statistics of fit for all the models in one table. The table does not include the models whose parameter estimation process does not converge. If all the models fail to converge, then this table is not produced. If the table contains more than one model, then the best model according to each statistic is indicated with an asterisk (*) in that statistic’s column.

PRINT=CONVSTATUS

displays the convergence status of the parameter estimation process.

PRINT=DESCSTATS

displays the descriptive statistics for the response variable. If regressor variables are specified, a table with their descriptive statistics is also displayed.

PRINT=DISTINFO

displays the information about all the candidate distribution. It includes the name, the description, the number of distribution parameters, and whether the distribution is valid for the specified modeling task.

PRINT=ESTIMATES

displays the final estimates of parameters. The estimates are not displayed for models whose parameter estimation process does not converge.

PRINT=ESTIMATIONDETAILS

displays the comparative details of the estimation process that is used to fit each candidate distribution. If you specify the DETAILS option in the PERFORMANCE statement, then this table contains a column that indicates the time taken to estimate each candidate model.

PRINT=INITIALVALUES

displays the initial values and bounds used for estimating each model.

PRINT=NLOHISTORY

displays the iteration history of the nonlinear optimization process used for estimating the parameters.

PRINT=NLOSUMMARY

displays the summary of the nonlinear optimization process used for estimating the parameters.

PRINT=SELECTION

displays the model selection table. The table shows the convergence status of each candidate model, and the value of the selection criterion along with an indication of the selected model.

PRINT=STATISTICS

displays the statistics of fit for each model. The statistics of fit are not displayed for models whose parameter estimation process does not converge.

Performance Information

The Performance Information table is produced by default. It displays information about the execution mode. For single-machine mode, the table displays the number of threads used. For distributed mode, the table displays the grid mode (symmetric or asymmetric), the number of compute nodes, and the number of threads per node.

If you specify the DETAILS option in the PERFORMANCE statement, the procedure also produces a Timing table in which elapsed times (absolute and relative) for the main tasks of the procedure are displayed.
