SAS Syntax - Specification Options for SAS Syntax

This topic describes the SAS specifications (options) that are available on the GLM Analysis Syntax Editor - Specifications tab when you select the SAS option button in the Syntax group box on the GLM Analysis Syntax Editor dialog.

Variables. Click the Variables button to display the Variable Names to Insert dialog. In that dialog, the selected variables (variable names) will be transferred to Analysis syntax edit field on the GLM Analysis Syntax Editor dialog, at the current location of the cursor.

1, 2, ..., 0, *. Click these buttons to insert the respective numeric character or symbol into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. Refer to the SAS Syntax Overview and the description of the SAS MODEL syntax for a description of how these characters can be used.

 |, @, ..., ¿. Click these buttons to insert the respective numeric character or symbol into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor. Refer to the SAS Syntax Overview and the description of the SAS MODEL syntax for a description of how these characters can be used.

Element Name Description
Noint Click the noint button to insert the MODEL option noint into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor; noint is an option used in conjunction with the MODEL keyword, which can be used to request the exclusion (option noint) or inclusion (option int or intercept) of the constant intercept term(s) from the model. Refer to the SAS Syntax Overview for additional details.
Int Click the int button to insert the MODEL option int into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor; int is an option used in conjunction with the MODEL keyword, which can be used to request the exclusion (option noint) or inclusion (option int or intercept) of the constant intercept term(s) from the model. Refer to the SAS Syntax Overview for additional details.
Intercept Click the intercept button to insert the MODEL option intercept into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor; intercept is an option used in conjunction with the MODEL keyword, which can be used to request the exclusion (option noint) or inclusion (option int or intercept) of the constant intercept term(s) from the model. Refer to the SAS Syntax Overview for additional details.
Ss1, ss2, ss3, ss4 Click these buttons to insert the MODEL options ss1, ss2, ss3, or ss4 into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor; ss1, ss2, ss3, and ss4 are options used in conjunction with the MODEL keyword, which can be used to request the different methods for constructing main effect and interaction hypotheses in unbalanced and incomplete designs, see Six types of sums of squares or SAS Syntax Overview for additional details.
Singular= Click the singular= button to insert the MODEL options singular= into the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor; option singular= can be used to specify a constant Delta, to be used (1) in sweeping, to detect redundant columns in the design matrix, and (2) for evaluating the estimability of hypotheses; specifically a value of 2*delta is used for the estimability check. Note that the specific use of this constant is slightly different from the way it is used in SAS, and identical to SDELTA in the GLM (STATISTICA) syntax.
