The SIMILARITY Procedure |
OUTMEASURE= Data Set |
The OUTMEASURE= data set records the similarity measures between each INPUT and TARGET statement variable with respect to each time ID value. The form of the OUTMEASURE= data set depends on the SORTNAMES and ORDER= option. The OUTMEASURE= data set contains the variables specified in the BY statement as well as the variables listed below.
For ORDER=INPUTTARGET and ORDER=TARGETINPUT, the OUTMEASURE= data set has the following form:
input variable name
target variable name
time ID values
input sequence values
target sequence values
similarity measures
The OUTMEASURE= data set is ordered by the variables _INPUT_, then _TARGET_, then _TIMEID_ when ORDER=INPUTTARGET. The OUTMEASURE= data set is ordered by the variables _TARGET_, then _INPUT_, then _TIMEID_ when ORDER=TARGETINPUT.
For ORDER=INPUT, the OUTMEASURE= data set has the following form:
input variable name
time ID values
input sequence values
similarity measures associated with each TARGET statement variable name
The OUTMEASURE= data set is ordered by the variables _INPUT_, then _TIMEID_.
For ORDER=TARGET, the OUTMEASURE= data set has the following form:
target variable name
time ID values
target sequence values
similarity measures associated with each INPUT statement variable name
The OUTMEASURE= data set is ordered by the variables _TARGET_, then _TIMEID_.
Note: This procedure is experimental.
