FIELDS Subcommand (LINEAR command)

The FIELDS subcommand specifies the target, predictors, and optional analysis (regression) weight.

TARGET. The target field is what the model tries to predict. Specify a single continuous field.

INPUTS. The model uses values of the input fields to predict the target. Specify one or more fields. Continuous inputs are treated as covariates in the model, while categorical inputs are treated as factors.

• The universal keyword TO may be specified on the INPUTS list.

ANALYSIS_WEIGHT. The model uses analysis (regression) weights to account for differences in variability across levels of the target field. Specify a single continuous field.

• This subcommand, and the TARGET and INPUTS keywords, are required.
