The VARCOMP Procedure

ODS Table Names

PROC VARCOMP assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names to reference the table when using the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. These names are listed in Table 108.8. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 20: Using the Output Delivery System.

ODS Table Name

Description

Statement

ANOVA

Type 1 analysis of variance

METHOD=TYPE1 or GRR

AsyCov

Asymptotic covariance matrix of estimates

METHOD=ML or REML

ClassLevels

Class level information

default

ConvergenceStatus

Convergence status

METHOD=ML or REML

DepVar

Dependent variable

METHOD=TYPE1, REML, ML, or GRR

DependentInfo

Dependent variable info (multiple variables)

 

Estimates

Variance component estimates

default

IterHistory

Iteration history

METHOD=ML or REML

NObs

Number of observations

default

SSCP

Sum of squares matrix

METHOD=MIVQUE0


In situations where multiple dependent variables are analyzed that differ in their missing value pattern, separate names for ANOVAn, AsyCovn, Estimatesn, IterHistoryn, and SSCPn tables are no longer required. The results are combined into a single output data set. For METHOD=TYPE1, ML, or REML, the variable Dependent in the output data set identifies the dependent variable. For METHOD=MIVQUE0, a variable is added to the output data set for each dependent variable.
