Variance Components Save to New File
You can save some results of this procedure to a new IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file.
Variance component estimates. Saves estimates of the variance components and estimate labels to a data file or dataset. These can be used in calculating more statistics or in further analysis in the GLM procedures. For example, you can use them to calculate confidence intervals or test hypotheses.
Component covariation. Saves a variance-covariance matrix or a correlation matrix to a data file or dataset. Available only if Maximum likelihood or Restricted maximum likelihood has been specified.
Destination for created values. Allows you to specify a dataset name or external filename for the file containing the variance component estimates and/or the matrix. Datasets are available for subsequent use in the same session but are not saved as files unless explicitly saved prior to the end of the session. Dataset names must conform to variable naming rules. See the topic Variable names for more information.
You can use the MATRIX command to extract the data you need from the data file and then compute confidence intervals or perform tests.
