CRITERIA Subcommand (CSLOGISTIC command)

The CRITERIA subcommand offers controls on the iterative algorithm that is used for estimation, and the subcommand specifies numerical tolerance for checking singularity.

CHKSEP = value . Starting iteration for checking complete separation. Specify a non-negative integer. This criterion is not used if the value is 0. The default value is 20.

CILEVEL = value. Confidence interval level for coefficient estimates, exponentiated coefficient estimates, and odds ratio estimates. Specify a value that is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 100. The default value is 95.

DF = value. Sampling design degrees of freedom to use in computing p values for all test statistics. Specify a positive number. The default value is the difference between the number of primary sampling units and the number of strata in the first stage of sampling.

LCONVERGE = [option] . Log-likelihood function convergence criterion. Convergence is assumed if the absolute or relative change in the log-likelihood function is less than the given value. This criterion is not used if the value is 0. Specify square brackets containing a non-negative number followed optionally by keyword ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE, which indicates the type of change. The default value is 0, and the default type is RELATIVE.

MXITER = value . Maximum number of iterations. Specify a non-negative integer. The default value is 100.

MXSTEP = value . Maximum step-halving allowed. Specify a positive integer. The default value is 5.

PCONVERGE = [option] . Parameter estimates convergence criterion. Convergence is assumed if the absolute or relative change in the parameter estimates is less than the given value. This criterion is not used if the value is 0. Specify square brackets containing a non-negative number followed optionally by keyword ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE, which indicates the type of change. The default value is 10^-6, and the default type is RELATIVE.

SINGULAR = value . Tolerance value used to test for singularity. Specify a positive value. The default value is 10^-12.
