CRITERIA Subcommand (BAYES CORRELATION command)

CRITERIA controls the statistical criteria used in building the Bayesian Pearson Correlation models. The default criteria are noted in the description of each keyword below.

CILEVEL = value. Specify the significance level for computing credible intervals. Must be a single double value ∈(0,100). The default level is 95%

SEED = integer. Specify a random seed set for the MCA method, with a random seed assigned by default. Only in effect when METHOD = MCA. You can set a seed by specifying a positive integer ∈[1,2147483647].

TOL = value. Specify the tolerance value for the numerical methods. 0.0001 is the default setting. Only in effect when METHOD = AGL. Must be one value ϵ(0, 10-3].

MAXITER = integer. Specify the maximum number of iterations the AGL method can go through in its computations. The integer 2000 is the default setting. You must specify a positive integer. Valid when METHOD = AGL.

MCSAMPLES = integer. Specify the number of points that are sampled for the Monte Carlo approximation. Only in effect when METHOD = MCA. 10,000 is the default setting. The value must be an integer ∈[103,106].

POSTSAMPLES = integer. Specify the number of samples that are used to draw the desired posterior distribution. 10,000 is the default setting. Only a single positive integer ∈[103,106] is allowed.
