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 121.8. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 20: Using the Output Delivery System.

Table 121.8: ODS Tables Produced by PROC VARCOMP

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.
