CONTINGENCY Subcommand (SIMPLAN command)

The CONTINGENCY subcommand specifies whether a multiway contingency table that describes associations between inputs with a categorical distribution is to be used when data are generated for those inputs. The multiway contingency table is computed from the active dataset and includes all inputs that are fit to a categorical distribution. It ensures that associations between those inputs in the historical data are preserved when simulating data for those inputs.

MULTIWAY = YES | NO: Specifies whether a multiway contingency table is used. The default is NO, which specifies that inputs with a categorical distribution are independent of each other.

Note: You can use the global SOURCE keyword to specify a simulation plan file that contains a multiway contingency table that is to be used instead of computing the table from the active dataset. For more information, see the topic SOURCE Keyword (SIMPLAN command).
