The SIMILARITY Procedure |
Printed Output |
The SIMILARITY procedure optionally produces printed output by using the Output Delivery System (ODS). By default, the procedure produces no printed output. All output is controlled by the PRINT= and PRINTDETAILS options in the PROC SIMILARITY statement.
The sort, order, and form of the printed output depends on both the SORTNAMES option and the ORDER= option. If the SORTNAMES option is specified, each variable (INPUT or TARGET) is analyzed in ascending order. For ORDER=INPUTTARGET, the printed output is ordered by the INPUT statement variables (row) and then by the TARGET statement variables (row). For ORDER=TARGETINPUT, the printed output is ordered by the TARGET statement variables (row) and then by the INPUT statement variables (row). For ORDER=INPUT, the printed output is ordered by the INPUT statement variables (row) and then the TARGET statement variables (column). For ORDER=TARGET, the printed output is ordered by the TARGET statement variables (row) and then the INPUT statement variables (column).
In general, if an analysis step related to printed output fails, the values of this step are not printed and appropriate error and/or warning messages are recorded in the SAS log. The printed output is similar to the output data set, these similarities are described below.
prints the costs statistics.
prints the descriptive statistics.
prints the path statistics.
prints the sliding sequence summary.
prints the summary of similarity measures similar to the OUTSUM= data set.
prints the warp summary.
prints each table with greater detail.
Note: This procedure is experimental.
