Arguments and Subcommands

vname

The variable which contains the total number of cases for each record.

Remarks

The default variable name is cases. If a variable with this name is not found in the data set, then the user must specify the case count (AMFIT or GMBO) or case indicator (PECAN or PEANUTS) variable prior to fitting a model. If the input data are read from a BSF file written by the modeling program, the BSF file header will contain information on the CASES variable used when the BSF file was written.

Example

To indicate that the lungca variable contains the case count information:

CASES lungca
