OUTFILE Subcommand (CSGLM command)

The OUTFILE subcommand saves an external IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file or previously declared dataset containing the parameter covariance or correlation matrix with parameter estimates, standard errors, significance values, and sampling design degrees of freedom. It also saves the parameter estimates and the parameter covariance matrix in XML format.

  • At least one keyword and a filename are required. Specify the keyword followed by a quoted file specification.
  • The COVB and CORB keywords are mutually exclusive, as are the MODEL and PARAMETER keywords.
  • The filename must be specified in full. CSGLM does not supply an extension.
  • For COVB and CORB, you can specify a previously declared dataset name (DATASET DECLARE command) instead of a file specification.

COVB = 'savfile'|'dataset'. Writes the parameter covariance matrix and other statistics to an external IBM SPSS Statistics datafile or previously declared dataset.

CORB = 'savfile'|'dataset'. Writes the parameter correlation matrix and other statistics to an external IBM SPSS Statistics data file or previously declared dataset.

MODEL = 'file'. Writes the parameter estimates and the parameter covariance matrix to an XML file.

PARAMETER = 'file'. Writes the parameter estimates to an XML file.
