The SCORE Procedure

Computational Resources

Let

v

= number of variables used in computing scores

s

= number of new score variables

b

= maximum number of new score variables in a BY group

n

= original input value

Memory

The array storage required is approximately $8(4v + (3 + v)b + s)$ bytes. When you do not use BY processing, the array storage required is approximately $8(4v + (4 + v)s)$ bytes.

Time

The time required to construct the scoring matrix is roughly proportional to $vs$, and the time needed to compute the scores is roughly proportional to $nvs$.
