The SIM2D Procedure

Syntax: SIM2D Procedure

The following statements are available in PROC SIM2D:

PROC SIM2D options ;: BY variables ;; COORDINATES coordinate-variables ;; GRID grid-options ;; SIMULATE simulate-options ;; MEAN mean-options ;

The SIMULATE and MEAN statements are hierarchical; you can specify any number of SIMULATE statements, but you must specify at least one. If you specify a MEAN statement, it refers to the preceding SIMULATE statement. If you do not specify a MEAN statement, a zero-mean model is simulated.

You must specify a single COORDINATES statement to identify the $\text{[math]}$ and $\text{[math]}$ coordinate variables in the input data set when you perform a conditional simulation. You must also specify a single GRID statement to specify the grid information.

The following table outlines the options available in PROC SIM2D classified by function.
