OUTFILE Subcommand (GLM: Univariate command)

The OUTFILE subcommand writes data to a data file or previously declared dataset 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 previously declared dataset name (DATASET DECLARE command) in parentheses after a keyword. The asterisk (*) is not allowed.
  • If you specify more than one keyword, a different filename is required for each keyword.
  • If more than one OUTFILE subcommand is specified, only the last subcommand 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 and contains only diagonal terms (the robust estimator is supported only for univariate models). In addition, 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. This specification is invalid for repeated measures analyses.

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.
