OUTFILE Subcommand (UNIANOVA command)

The OUTFILE subcommand writes IBM® SPSS® Statistics data files that can be used in other procedures.

  • You must specify a keyword on OUTFILE. There is no default.
  • You must specify a quoted file specification or a previously declared dataset name (DATASET DECLARE command), enclosed in quotes. The asterisk (*) is not allowed.
  • If you specify more than one keyword, a different file specification is required for each.
  • If more than one OUTFILE subcommand is specified, only the last one is in effect.
  • For COVB or CORB, the output will contain, in addition to the covariance or correlation matrix, four rows for each dependent variable: a row of parameter estimates, a row of standard errors of the parameter estimates, a row of residual degrees of freedom, and a row of significance values for the t statistics corresponding to the parameter estimates. All statistics are displayed separately by split. For HCCOVB, the covariance matrix is calculated with a robust estimator, the row of standard errors displays the robust standard errors, and the significance values reflect the robust errors.

COVB ('savfile'|'dataset'). Writes the parameter covariance matrix.

CORB ('savfile'|'dataset'). Writes the parameter correlation matrix.

HCCOVB ('savfile'|'dataset'). Writes the parameter covariance matrix, calculated with a robust estimator. HCCOVB is valid only if the ROBUST subcommand is specified.

EFFECT ('savfile'|'dataset'). Writes the statistics from the between-subjects ANOVA table.

DESIGN ('savfile'|'dataset'). Writes the design matrix. The number of rows equals the number of cases, and the number of columns equals the number of parameters. The variable names are DES_1, DES_2, ..., DES_p, where p is the number of the parameters.
