MODEL Statement
MODEL response = variables ;
A MODEL statement specifies an observation equation that describes a response variable as a sum of regression effects and components defined in the program. The response variable must be a numeric variable from the input data set. The variables used in the right-hand side of the model expression can be numeric variables from the input data set, numeric variables defined by using programming statements, or names of components defined by using the COMPONENT, TREND, or IRREGULAR statements.

In the case of a multivariate model, a separate MODEL statement is needed for each of the response variables. In this case, the observation errors, defined by using an IRREGULAR statement, must be different in each MODEL statement.


Note: This procedure is experimental.
