ESTIMATE Statement

ESTIMATE <'label'> estimate-specification <(divisor=n)><, …<'label'> estimate-specification <(divisor=n)>></ options>;

The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests. Estimates are formed as linear estimable functions of the form $\bL \bbeta$ . You can perform hypothesis tests for the estimable functions, construct confidence limits, and obtain specific nonlinear transformations.

Table 93.10 summarizes the options available in the ESTIMATE statement.

Table 93.10: ESTIMATE Statement Options

Option	Description
Construction and Computation of Estimable Functions
DIVISOR=	Specifies a list of values to divide the coefficients
NOFILL	Suppresses the automatic fill-in of coefficients for higher-order effects
SINGULAR=	Tunes the estimability checking difference
Degrees of Freedom and p-values
ADJUST=	Determines the method for multiple comparison adjustment of estimates
ALPHA= $\alpha$	Determines the confidence level ( $1-\alpha$ )
LOWER	Performs one-sided, lower-tailed inference
STEPDOWN	Adjusts multiplicity-corrected p-values further in a step-down fashion
TESTVALUE=	Specifies values under the null hypothesis for tests
UPPER	Performs one-sided, upper-tailed inference
Statistical Output
CL	Constructs confidence limits
CORR	Displays the correlation matrix of estimates
COV	Displays the covariance matrix of estimates
E	Prints the $\mb{L}$ matrix
JOINT	Produces a joint F or chi-square test for the estimable functions
PLOTS=	Requests ODS statistical graphics if the analysis is sampling-based
SEED=	Specifies the seed for computations that depend on random numbers
Generalized Linear Modeling
CATEGORY=	Specifies how to construct estimable functions with multinomial data
EXP	Exponentiates and displays estimates
