PROC MDC options ;

The following options can be used in the PROC MDC statement.

DATA=SAS-data-set

specifies the input SAS data set. If the DATA= option is not specified, PROC MDC uses the most recently created SAS data set.

OUTEST=SAS-data-set

names the SAS data set that the parameter estimates are written to. See "OUTEST= Data Set" later in this chapter for information about the contents of this data set.

COVOUT

writes the covariance matrix for the parameter estimates to the OUTEST= data set. This option is valid only if the OUTEST= option is specified.
