In addition to the output data set, the SIM2D procedure produces output objects as well. The SIM2D procedure output objects are the following:

• a default "Number of Observations" table that displays the number of observations read from the input data set and the number of observations used in the analysis

• a map showing the spatial distribution of the observations of the current VAR variable in the SIMULATE statement, in the case of conditional simulations. The observations are displayed by default with circled markers whose color indicates the VAR value at the corresponding location.

• a default table for each SIMULATE statement that summarizes the simulation specifications

• a default table for each SIMULATE statement that shows the covariance model parameters for the corresponding simulation

• plots of the mean and standard deviation of the simulation realizations at each point of the specified output grid. You can produce more than one of these plots for every SIMULATE statement with styles that you can specify by using the available suboptions of the PLOTS=MEANS option.
