The SEVERITY Procedure

Displayed Output

The SEVERITY procedure optionally produces displayed output by using the Output Delivery System (ODS). By default, the procedure produces no displayed output. All output is controlled by the PRINT= option in the PROC SEVERITY statement. Table 22.5 relates the PRINT= options to ODS tables.

Table 22.5 ODS Tables Produced in PROC SEVERITY

ODS Table Name

Description

Option

DescStats

Descriptive statistics for the response variable

PRINT=DESCSTATS

RegDescStats

Descriptive statistics for the regressor variables

PRINT=DESCSTATS

ModelSelection

Model selection summary

PRINT=SELECTION

AllFitStatistics

Statistics of fit for all the distribution models

PRINT=ALLFITSTATS

InitialValues

Initial parameter values and bounds

PRINT=INITIALVALUES

ConvergenceStatus

Convergence status of parameter estimation process

PRINT=CONVSTATUS

IterationHistory

Optimization iteration history

PRINT=NLOHISTORY

OptimizationSummary

Optimization summary

PRINT=NLOSUMMARY

StatisticsOfFit

Statistics of fit

PRINT=STATISTICS

ParameterEstimates

Final parameter estimates

PRINT=ESTIMATES

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=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=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=INITIALVALUES

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

PRINT=CONVSTATUS

displays the convergence status of the parameter estimation process.

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=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.

PRINT=ESTIMATES

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


Note: This procedure is experimental.
