Workspace Node: Nonlinear Estimation - Specifications - Quick Tab

In the Nonlinear Estimation node dialog box, under the Specifications heading, select the Quick tab to access the following options.

Element Name Description
Input file contains This option is available only if Quick logit regression or Quick probit regression was selected on the Regression specification tab. This drop-down list contains two options: Codes and counts and Codes and no counts. Use this option to specify the method for setting up the data file for logit or probit regression analysis. See Probit/Logit Regression - Input File for more detailed information about these options.
Variables Click this button to display a variable selection dialog box, in which you select one dependent variable and a set of independent or predictor variables. In addition, if you selected Codes and counts in the Input file contains drop-down list, also specify the Count variable containing the frequency counts.
Codes for dep. var. This option is available only if Quick logit regression or Quick probit regression was selected on the Regression specification tab. Logit and probit regression models, in a sense, predict probabilities underlying the dichotomous dependent variable, and these methods will produce predicted (expected) values in the range between 0 and 1 (for details, see Common Nonlinear Regression Models). If the dependent variable is not coded in this way, that is, as 0 and 1, you must specify the respective codes in the Codes for dep. var. boxes. To do this, double-click on the field to display a code selection dialog box or simply type in the two codes. As the data are read, the dependent variable will then be transformed so that all values that match the first code become 0 (zero), and all values that match the second code become 1.
MD deletion Missing data can be deleted Casewise or by Mean substitution depending on the selection in this group box.
Casewise If this option button is selected, only cases that do not contain any missing data for any of the variables selected for the analysis will be included in the analysis.
Mean substitution If this option button is selected, missing data will be replaced by the means for the respective variables (for this analysis only, not in the data file).

Options / C / W. See Common Options.

OK Click the OK button to accept all the specifications made in the dialog box and to close it. The analysis results will be placed in the Reporting Documents node after running (updating) the project.
