The VARIOGRAM Procedure

PROC VARIOGRAM Statement

PROC VARIOGRAM options ;

You can specify the following options in the PROC VARIOGRAM statement.

DATA=SAS-data-set
specifies a SAS data set containing the x and y coordinate variables and the VAR statement variables.

OUTDISTANCE=SAS-data-set
OUTDIST=SAS-data-set
OUTD=SAS-data-set
specifies a SAS data set in which to store summary distance information. This data set contains a count of all pairs of data points within a given distance interval. The number of distance intervals is controlled by the NHCLASSES= option in the COMPUTE statement. The OUTDISTANCE= data set is useful for plotting modified histograms of the count data for determining appropriate lag distances. See the section "OUTDIST=SAS-data-set " for details.

OUTPAIR=SAS-data-set
OUTP=SAS-data-set
specifies a SAS data set in which to store distance and angle information for each pair of points in the DATA= data set. This option should be used with caution when the DATA= data set is large. If n denotes the number of observations in the DATA= data set, the OUTPAIR= data set contains [(n(n-1))/2] observations unless you restrict it with the OUTPDISTANCE= option in the COMPUTE statement. The OUTPDISTANCE= option in the COMPUTE statement excludes pairs of points when the distance between the pairs exceeds the OUTPDISTANCE= value. See the section "OUTPAIR=SAS-data-set" for details.

OUTVAR=SAS-data-set
OUTVR=SAS-data-set
specifies a SAS data set in which to store the continuity measures. See the section "OUTVAR=SAS-data-set " for details.
