Example:
SAVE MODEL OUTFILE=’ACFMOD.DAT’
/DROP=MOD_1.
SAVE MODEL saves the models created by Trends procedures into a model file. The saved
model file can be read later on in the session or in another session with the READ MODEL
command.
You can save a subset of models into the file using the DROP and KEEP subcommands. You
can control whether models are specified by model name or by the name of the procedure
that generated them using the TYPE subcommand.
The basic specification is the OUTFILE subcommand followed by a filename.
• By default, SAVE MODEL saves all currently active models in the specified file. Each
model saved in the file includes information such as the procedure that created it, the
model name, the variable names specified, subcommands and specifications used, and parameter
estimates. The names of the models are either the default MOD_n names or the
names assigned on the MODEL NAME command. In addition to the model specifications,
the TSET settings currently in effect are saved.
• Subcommands can be specified in any order.
