The CORRESP Procedure

Output Data Sets

The OUTC= Data Set

The OUTC= data set contains two or three character variables and 4n+4 numeric variables, where n is the number of axes from DIMENS=n (two by default). The OUTC= data set contains one observation for each row, column, supplementary row, and supplementary column point, and one observation for inertias.

The first variable is named _TYPE_ and identifies the type of observation. The values of _TYPE_ are as follows:

If you specify the SOURCE option, then the data set also contains a variable _VAR_ containing the name or label of the input variable from which that row originates. The name of the next variable is either _NAME_ or (if you specify an ID statement) the name of the ID variable.

For observations with a value of `OBS' or `SUPOBS' for the _TYPE_ variable, the values of the second variable are constructed as follows:

For observations with a value of `VAR' or `SUPVAR' for the _TYPE_ variable, the values of the second variable are equal to the names or labels of the VAR (or SUPPLEMENTARY) variables. When you specify a TABLES statement, the values are formed from the appropriate column variable values.

The third and subsequent variables contain the numerical results of the correspondence analysis.

The OUTF= Data Set

The OUTF= data set contains frequencies and percentages. It is similar to a PROC FREQ output data set. The OUTF= data set begins with a variable called _TYPE_, which contains the observation type. If the SOURCE option is specified, the data set contains two variables _ROWVAR_ and _COLVAR_ that contain the names or labels of the row and column input variables from which each cell originates. The next two variables are classification variables that contain the row and column levels. If you use TABLES statement input and each variable list consists of a single variable, the names of the first two variables match the names of the input variables; otherwise, these variables are named Row and Column. The next two variables are Count and Percent, which contain frequencies and percentages.

The _TYPE_ variable can have the following values:
