SAVE Subcommand (DETECTANOMALY command)

The SAVE subcommand specifies the additional variables to save to the active dataset.

  • One or more keywords should be specified, each followed by an optional variable name or rootname in parentheses.
  • The variable name or the rootname, if specified, must be a valid variable name.
  • If no variable name or rootname is specified, a default varname or rootname is used. If the default varname or rootname is used and it conflicts with that of an existing variable, a suffix is added to make the name unique.
  • The values of the additional variables are assigned to all cases included in the analysis, even if the cases are not in the anomaly list.
  • This subcommand is not affected by the specifications on the PCTANOMALOUSCASES, NUMANOMALOUSCASES, or ANOMALYCUTPOINT keywords in the CRITERIA subcommand.

ANOMALY(varname). The anomaly index. If an optional varname is not specified, the default varname is AnomalyIndex, which is the anomaly index. If an optional varname is specified, the specified varname is used to replace the default varname. For example, if ANOMALY(MyAnomaly) is specified, the variable name will be MyAnomaly.

PEERID(varname). Peer group ID. If an optional varname is not specified, the default varname PeerId is used. If an optional varname is specified, the specified name is used.

PEERSIZE(varname) . Peer group size. If an optional varname is not specified, the default variable name PeerSize is used. If an optional varname is specified, the specified name is used.

PEERPCTSIZE(varname) . Peer group size in percentage. If an optional varname is not specified, the default varname PeerPctSize is used. If an optional varname is specified, the specified name is used.

REASONVAR(rootname). The variable associated with a reason. The number of REASONVAR variables created depends on the number of reasons specified on the CRITERIA subcommand NUMREASONS option. If an optional rootname is not specified, the default rootname ReasonVar is used to automatically generate one or more varnames, ReasonVar_k, where k is the kth reason. If an optional rootname is specified, the specified name is used. If NUMREASONS=0 is specified, this option is ignored and a warning is issued.

REASONMEASURE(rootname). The variable impact measure associated with a reason. The number of REASONMEASURE variables created depends on the number of reasons specified on the CRITERIA subcommand NUMREASONS option. If an optional rootname is not specified, the default rootname ReasonMeasure is used to automatically generate one or more varnames, ReasonMeasure_k, where k is the kth reason. If an optional rootname is specified, the specified name is used. If NUMREASONS=0 is specified, this option is ignored and a warning is issued.

REASONVALUE(rootname). The variable value associated with a reason. The number of REASONVALUE variables created depends on the number of reasons specified on the CRITERIA subcommand NUMREASONS option. If an optional rootname is not specified, the default rootname ReasonValue is used to automatically generate one or more varnames, ReasonValue_k, where k is the kth reason. If an optional rootname is specified, the specified name is used. If NUMREASONS=0 is specified, this option is ignored and a warning is issued.

REASONNORM(rootname). The norm value associated with a reason. The number of REASONNORM variables created depends on the number of reasons specified on the CRITERIA subcommand NUMREASONS option. If an optional rootname is not specified, the default rootname ReasonNorm is used to automatically generate one or more varnames, ReasonNorm_k, where k is the kth reason. If an optional rootname is specified, the specified name is used. If NUMREASONS=0 is specified, this option is ignored and a warning is issued.
