OUTINTERVALS= Data Set
Each INTERVALS statement can create an output data set specified with the OUTINTERVALS= option. The OUTINTERVALS= data set contains statistical intervals and related parameters.
The number of observations in the OUTINTERVALS= data set depends on the number of variables analyzed, the number of tests specified, and the results of the tests. The OUTINTERVALS= data set is constructed as follows:
The OUTINTERVALS= data set contains a group of observations for each variable analyzed.
Each group contains one or more observations for each interval you specify with the METHODS= option. The actual number depends upon the number of combinations of the ALPHA=, K=, and P= values.
The following variables are saved in the OUTINTERVALS= data set:
Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
_ALPHA_ |
value of |
_K_ |
value of K= for the prediction intervals |
_LOWER_ |
lower endpoint of interval |
_METHOD_ |
interval index (1–6) |
_P_ |
value of P= for the tolerance intervals |
_TYPE_ |
type of interval (ONESIDED or TWOSIDED) |
_UPPER_ |
upper endpoint of interval |
_VAR_ |
variable name |
associated with the intervals If you use a BY statement, the BY variables are also saved in the OUTINTERVALS= data set.
