The OUTPATH= data set records the path analysis between each INPUT and TARGET statement variable. This data set records the path sequences for each slide index and for each warp index associated with the slide index. The sequence values recorded are normalized and scaled based on the NORMALIZE= and SCALE= options.

The OUTPATH= data set contains the variables specified in the BY statement and the following variables:

_INPUT_

input variable name

_TARGET_

target variable name

_TIMEID_

time ID values

_SLIDE_

slide index

_WARP_

warp index

_INPSEQ_

input sequence values

_TARSEQ_

target sequence values

_INPPTH_

input path index

_TARPTH_

target path index

_METRIC_

distance metric values

The sorting of the OUTPATH= data set depends on the SORTNAMES and the ORDER= option.

The OUTPATH= data set is ordered by the variables _INPUT_, then _TARGET_, then _TIMEID_ when ORDER=INPUTTARGET or ORDER=INPUT. The OUTPATH= data set is ordered by the variables _TARGET_, then _INPUT_, then _TIMEID_ when ORDER=TARGETINPUT or ORDER=TARGET.

If there are a large number of slides or warps or both, this data set might be large.
