The SURVEYREG Procedure

MODEL Statement

MODEL dependent = < effects >< / options >;
The MODEL statement specifies the dependent (response) variable and the independent (regressor) variables or effects. Each term in a MODEL statement, called an effect, is a variable or a combination of variables. You can specify an effect with a variable name or with a special notation using variable names and operators. For more information on how to specify an effect, see the section "Specification of Effects" in Chapter 30, "The GLM Procedure." The dependent variable must be numeric. Only one MODEL statement is allowed for each PROC SURVEYREG statement. If you specify more than one MODEL statement, the procedure uses the first model and ignores the rest.

You can specify the following options in the MODEL statement after a slash (/).

COVB
displays the estimated covariance matrix of the estimated regression estimates.

DF=value
specifies the denominator degrees of freedom for the F tests and the degrees of freedom for the t tests. The default is the number of clusters (or the number of observations if there is no CLUSTER statement) minus the number of actual strata. The number of actual strata equals the number of strata in the data before collapsing minus the number of strata collapsed plus 1.

CLPARM
requests confidence limits for the parameter estimates. The SURVEYREG procedure determines the confidence coefficient using the ALPHA= option, which by default equals 0.05 and produces 95% confidence bounds. The CLPARM option also requests confidence limits for all the estimable linear functions of regression parameters in the ESTIMATE statements.

Note that when there is a CLASS statement, you need to use the SOLUTION option with the CLPARM option to obtain the parameter estimates and their confidence limits. See the SOLUTION option.

DEFF
displays design effects for the regression coefficient estimates.

NOINT
omits the intercept from the model.

I
INVERSE
displays the inverse or the generalized inverse of the X'X matrix. When there is a WEIGHT variable, the procedure displays the inverse or the generalized inverse of the X'WX matrix, where W is the diagonal matrix constructed from WEIGHT variable values.

X
XPX
displays the X'X matrix, or the X'WX matrix when there is a WEIGHT variable, where W is the diagonal matrix constructed from WEIGHT variable values. The X option also displays the crossproducts vector X'y, or X'Wy.

SOLUTION
displays a solution to the normal equations, which are the parameter estimates. The SOLUTION option is useful only when you use a CLASS statement. If you do not specify a CLASS statement, PROC SURVEYREG displays parameter estimates by default. But if you specify a CLASS statement, PROC SURVEYREG does not display parameter estimates unless you also specify the SOLUTION option.
