Output Data Sets

The STDIZE Procedure

Output Data Sets

OUT= Data Set

The output data set is a copy of the DATA= data set except that the analyzed variables have been standardized. Analyzed variables are those listed in the VAR statement or, if there is no VAR statement, all numeric variables not listed in any other statement.

OUTSTAT= Data Set

The new data set contains the following variables:

the BY variables, if any
_TYPE_, a character variable
the analyzed variables

Each observation in the new data set contains a type of statistic as indicated by the _TYPE_ variable. The values of the _TYPE_ variable are as follows:

_TYPE_: Contents
LOCATION: location measure of each variable
SCALE: scale measure of each variable
ADD: constant specified in the ADD= option. This value is the same for each variable.
MULT: constant specified in the MULT= option. This value is the same for each variable.
N: total number of nonmissing positive frequencies of each variable
NORM: norm measure of each variable. This observation is produced only when you specify the NORM option with METHOD=AGK, METHOD=IQR, METHOD=MAD, or METHOD=SPACING or when you specify the SNORM option with METHOD=SPACING.
Pn: percentiles of each variable, as specified by the PCTLPTS= option. The argument n is any real number such that $0 \leq n \leq 100$ .
