INITIAL Subcommand (OVERALS command)

The INITIAL subcommand specifies the method that is used to compute the initial configuration.

• The specification on INITIAL is keyword NUMERICAL or RANDOM. If the INITIAL subcommand is not specified, NUMERICAL is the default.

NUMERICAL. Treat all variables except multiple nominal as numerical. This specification is best to use when there are no SNOM variables.

RANDOM. Compute a random initial configuration. This specification should be used only when some or all variables are SNOM.
