PIN and POUT Subcommands (DISCRIMINANT command)

PIN specifies the minimum probability of F that a variable can have to enter the analysis and POUT specifies the maximum probability of F that a variable can have and not be removed from the model.

  • PIN and POUT take precedence over FIN and FOUT. That is, if all are specified, PIN and POUT values are used.
  • If PIN and POUT are omitted, FIN and FOUT are used by default.
  • You can set PIN and POUT to any decimal value between 0 and 1. However, POUT should be greater than PIN if PIN is also specified.
  • PIN and POUT apply only to the stepwise methods and are ignored if the METHOD subcommand is omitted or if DIRECT is specified on METHOD.
