Current Estimates Report

Use the Current Estimates report to enter, remove, and lock in model effects. (The intercept is permanently locked into the model.)

Current Estimates Table

Lock

Locks a term in or out of the model. A checked term cannot be entered or removed from the model.

Entered

Indicates whether a term is currently in the model. You can click a term’s check box to manually bring an effect in or out of the model.

Parameter

Lists effect names.

Estimate

Current parameter estimate (zero if the effect is not currently in the model).

nDF

Number of degrees of freedom for a term. A term has more than one degree of freedom if its entry into a model also forces other terms into the model.

Reduction in the error (residual) sum of squares (SS) if the term is entered into the model or the increase in the error SS if the term is removed from the model. If a term is restricted in some fashion, it could have a reported SS of zero.

“F Ratio”

Traditional test statistic to test that the term effect is zero. It is the square of a t-ratio. It is in quotation marks because it does not have an F-distribution for testing the term because the model was selected as it was fit.

“Prob>F”

Significance level associated with the F statistic. Like the “F Ratio,” it is in quotation marks because it is not to be trusted as a real significance probability.

Multiple correlation with the other effects in the model.
