TESTCLASS Statement

The DISCRIM Procedure

TESTCLASS Statement

TESTCLASS variable ;

The TESTCLASS statement names the variable in the TESTDATA= data set that is used to determine whether an observation in the TESTDATA= data set is misclassified. The TESTCLASS variable should have the same type (character or numeric) and length as the variable given in the CLASS statement. PROC DISCRIM considers an observation misclassified when the formatted value of the TESTCLASS variable does not match the group into which the TESTDATA= observation is classified. When the TESTCLASS statement is missing and the TESTDATA= data set contains the variable given in the CLASS statement, the CLASS variable is used as the TESTCLASS variable.
