- performs random-effects analysis of variance for data from an experiment
with a nested (hierarchical) structure and classification effects
- descriptive analysis of covariation
- obtain separate analyses on observations in groups
- capacity to handle unbalanced data
- automatically displays the following for each dependent variable:
- Coefficients of Expected Mean Squares
- each Variance Source in the model (the different components of variance)
and the total variance
- degrees of freedom (DF) for the corresponding sum of squares
- Sum of Squares for each classification factor
- F Value for a factor and the significance levels of a test of the hypothesis that each
variance component equals zero
- the appropriate Error Term for an F test
- Mean Square due to a factor
- estimates of the Variance Components
- Percent of Total (the proportion of variance due to each source)
- Mean
- automatically displays the following when there are multiple dependent variables:
- degrees of freedom
- sum of products
- mean products
- covariance component
- variance component correlation
- mean square correlation
- use ODS to create a SAS data set corresponding to any table
