Categorical Regression Save

The Save dialog box allows you to save predicted values, residuals, and transformed values to the active dataset and/or save discretized data, transformed values, regularized models and coefficients, and signs of regression coefficients to an external IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file or dataset in the current session.

  • Datasets are available during the current session but are not available in subsequent sessions unless you explicitly save them as data files. Dataset names must adhere to variable naming rules. See the topic Variable names for more information.
  • Filenames or dataset names must be different for each type of data saved.

Regularized models and coefficients are saved whenever a regularization method is selected on the Regularization dialog. By default, the procedure creates a new dataset with a unique name, but you can of course specify a name of your own choosing or write to an external file.

Signs of regression coefficients are saved whenever multiple systematic starts are used as the initial configuration on the Options dialog. By default, the procedure creates a new dataset with a unique name, but you can of course specify a name of your own choosing or write to an external file.
