CRITERIA Subcommand (NPTESTS command)

The CRITERIA subcommand controls the significance level used for tests and the confidence level used for intervals.

  [/CRITERIA ALPHA={0.05**}] CILEVEL={95** }
                   {value }          {value}
                   [SEED={2000000}{integer}{RANDOM**}]

ALPHA keyword

The ALPHA keyword specifies the significance level for all tests specified on the NPTESTS command.

Specify a numeric value between 0 and 1. 0.05 is the default.

CILEVEL keyword

The CILEVEL keyword specifies the confidence level for all confidence intervals produced by the NPTESTS command.

Specify a numeric value between 0 and 100. 95 is the default.

SEED keyword

The SEED keyword resets the random seed used for the Monte Carlo sampling.

The default RANDOM setting assigns a random seed. When a custom seed is specified, the integer in the parentheses must be a single integer between 1 and 2147483647 (the seed value starts at 2000000).
