The CSPATIALREG Procedure

MODEL Statement

  • MODEL dependent-variable = regressors </ options>;

The MODEL statement specifies the dependent-variable and independent covariates (regressors) for the regression model. If you specify no regressors, PROC CSPATIALREG fits a model that contains only an intercept. The dependent-variable is treated as a continuous variable in the primary input data table (specified in the DATA= option). Models in PROC CSPATIALREG do not allow missing values. If there are missing values, an error message is returned.

You can specify only one MODEL statement. You can specify the following options after a slash (/):

NOINT

suppresses the intercept parameter.

TYPE=ALL | AUTO | CAR | LINEAR | SAC | SAR | SARMA | SEM | SMA

specifies the type of model to be fit. If you specify this option in both the MODEL statement and the PROC CSPATIALREG statement, the MODEL statement overrides the PROC CSPATIALREG statement. You can specify the following values:

ALL

fits all models.

AUTO

fits a subset of selected models.

CAR

fits a conditional autoregressive model.

LINEAR

fits a linear model.

SAC

fits a spatial autoregressive confused model.

SAR

fits a spatial autoregressive model.

SARMA

fits a spatial autoregressive moving average model.

SEM

fits a spatial error model.

SMA

fits a spatial moving average model.

By default, TYPE=SAR. For more information about the TYPE=ALL or TYPE=AUTO option, see the section Multiple Model Comparison.

Printing Options

You can specify the following options in either the PROC CSPATIALREG statement or the MODEL statement. If you specify these options in both the PROC CSPATIALREG and MODEL statements, the MODEL statement overrides the PROC CSPATIALREG statement.

CORRB

prints the correlation matrix of the parameter estimates.

COVB

prints the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates.

NOPRINT

suppresses all printed output.

PRINTALL

prints all available output.
