OUT= Data Set |
The OUT= data set contains the following variables:
BY variables, if any
_ITER_ (if the OUTITER option is specified), a numeric variable containing the iteration number
_DIMENS_, a numeric variable containing the number of dimensions
_MATRIX_ or the variable in the MATRIX statement, identifying the data matrix or subject to which the observation pertains. This variable contains a missing value for observations that pertain to the data set as a whole and not to a particular matrix, such as the coordinates (_TYPE_=‘CONFIG’).
_TYPE_, a character variable of length 10 identifying the type of information in the observation
The values of _TYPE_ are as follows:
_LABEL_ or the variable in the ID statement, containing the variable label or value of the ID variable of the object to which the observation pertains. This variable contains a missing value for observations that do not pertain to a particular object or dimension.
_NAME_, a character variable containing the variable name of the object or dimension to which the observation pertains. This variable contains a missing value for observations that do not pertain to a particular object or dimension.
Dim1, ..., Dimm, where m is the maximum number of dimensions
