Quantile Regression: Export
This feature requires SPSS® Statistics Standard Edition or the Regression Option.
The Export dialog provides options for specifying which statistics are exported, how statistics are exported (external data file or data sets), and controlling how data is handled during processing (process normally, or held in an external scratch file while processing).
- Covariance matrix of parameter estimates
- When selected, options for writing the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates to an external data file, or a previously declared data, set are enabled.
- Correlation matrix of parameter estimates
- When selected, options for writing the correlation matrix of the parameter estimates to an external data file, or a previously declared data set, are enabled.
- The covariance/correlation matrix will be saved in a single dataset or external file in the presence of multiple regression quantiles
- When multiple quantiles are present, this option toggles the saving of covariance/correlation
matrices to single or multiple data sets or external data files. When not enabled, matrices are
saved in a single, external data file or a data set. When enabled, matrices are saved in multiple
external data files or data sets. The setting takes effect only when multiple values are specified
for the Quantile values setting on the Criteria dialog.Note: This option is available only when Covariance matrix of parameter estimates or Correlation matrix of parameter estimates is selected.
- Export model information to XML file
- When selected, provides options for exporting the model information to a specific XML file name and location.
- Export as XML
- When Export model information to XML file is selected, you can select to export either parameter estimates and covariance matrices or parameter estimates only. Parameter estimates and covariance matrix is the default setting.
File name conventions
- When a single value is specified for the Quantile values setting on the Criteria dialog, savefile and dataset are used to name the external data file or data set.
- When multiple values are specified for the Quantile values setting on the Criteria dialog, each quantile is saved to an external data file or data set.
- An underscore character "_", followed by a meaningful quantile suffix, is automatically appended to the data file or data set name. For example, when 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 are specified as Quantile values, the suffix _25, _50, and _75 are appended to the data file names (before the .sav extension).
- Additional digits can be specified for each quantile suffix (if necessary).
- The Quantile values leading zero and decimal point are not used in the suffix.
- When scientific notation is specified for Quantile values, it is converted to a decimal value when displayed in the suffix.
