Details of the OPTEX Procedure

EXAMINE Statement

EXAMINE <options> ;
You use the EXAMINE statement to display the characteristics of a selected design. By default, the EXAMINE statement lists certain measures of design efficiency for the best design. (See the "Output" section.) The following options can be used to modify the output:

DESIGN
lists the actual points in the selected design.

INFORMATION
INFO
I
lists the information matrix X'X for the selected design.

NUMBER=design-number
selects a design to examine by specifying its design-number. Designs are ordered by the value of the efficiency criterion that is being optimized. Thus, a design-number of 1 corresponds to the best design found, a design-number of 2 corresponds to the second best design, and so on. The default design-number is 1. To modify the number of designs created, see the ITER= option.

VARIANCE
VAR
V
lists the variance matrix (X'X)-1 for the parameter estimates for the selected design.

For details on design efficiencies, see "Design Efficiency Measures" .

If you use the OPTEX procedure interactively, you must enter the options for every EXAMINE statement. For example, the following statements list default information and the design points for the best design but only default information for the second-best design:

examine number=1 design;
examine number=2;

The following statements list default information and design points for both the best and second-best designs:

examine number=1 design;
examine number=2 design;
