The FMM Procedure

The “Model Information” table displays basic information about the model, such as the response variable, frequency variable, link function, and the model category that the FMM procedure determined based on your input and options. The “Model Information” table is one of a few tables that are produced irrespective of estimation technique. Most other tables are specific to Bayes or maximum likelihood estimation.

If the analysis depends on generated random numbers, the “Model Information” table also displays the random number seed used to initialize the random number generators. If you repeat the analysis and pass this seed value in the SEED= option in the PROC FMM statement, an identical stream of random numbers results.
