Enter the number of best linear unbiased
predictors
(BLUPs) to use for prediction.
The default value of 0 indicates that all specified predictors are to be used for fitting the
model
.
When you specify a positive value, the predictors with the largest BLUPs in absolute value from a full model fit are selected and then the model is refit using only those predictors. This number is in addition to any lock-in
variables
that you specify.
