DEPENDENT Subcommand (REGRESSION command)

DEPENDENT specifies a list of variables and requests that an equation be built for each. DEPENDENT is required.

  • The minimum specification is a single variable. There is no default variable list.
  • Only one DEPENDENT subcommand can be specified. It must be followed by at least one METHOD subcommand.
  • Keyword TO on a DEPENDENT subcommand refers to the order in which variables are specified on the VARIABLES subcommand. If VARIABLES=(COLLECT), TO refers to the order of variables in the active dataset.
  • If DEPENDENT names more than one variable, an equation is built for each using the same independent variables and methods.
