OUTINTERVALS= Data Set

INTERVALS Statement

OUTINTERVALS= Data Set

Each INTERVALS statement can create an output data set specified with the OUTINTERVALS= option. The OUTINTERVALS= data set contains statistical intervals and related parameters.

The number of observations in the OUTINTERVALS= data set depends on the number of variables analyzed, the number of tests specified, and the results of the tests. The OUTINTERVALS= data set is constructed as follows:

The OUTINTERVALS= data set contains a group of observations for each variable analyzed.
Each group contains one or more observations for each interval you specify with the METHODS= option. The actual number depends upon the number of combinations of the ALPHA=, K=, and P= values.

The following variables are saved in the OUTINTERVALS= data set:

Variable Description

_ALPHA_ value of $\alpha$ associated with the intervals

_K_ value of K= for the prediction intervals

_LOWER_ lower endpoint of interval

_METHOD_ interval index (1-6)

_P_ value of P= for the tolerance intervals

_TYPE_ type of interval (ONESIDED or TWOSIDED)

_UPPER_ upper endpoint of interval

_VAR_ variable name

If you use a BY statement, the BY variables are also saved in the OUTINTERVALS= data set.
