Specify prediction values

Use this to specify prediction values based on the current specified generalized linear model for survey data.

Available data

Lists variates and factors that can be used to supply the explanatory variates and/or grouping factors to be used in the prediction. Double-click a name to copy it into the appropriate list. You can transfer multiple selections from Available data by holding the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting items, then click to move them all across in one action.

List of explanatory variates

Enter the names of the variates that you want to use in the prediction. You can add a new variate name to the list by either double-clicking the name in the Available data list or by clicking on the button. You can change the values to predict the response variable from by either double-clicking on an explanatory variable name or by selecting the names and clicking on the Change values button.

Change values Opens a dialog that lets you change the values of the currently selected explanatory variables.
Remove Deletes the selected explanatory variates from the list.

Grouping factors

Enter the names of the factors that you want to use in the prediction. You can add a new factor name to the list by either double-clicking the name in the Available data list or by clicking on the button. You can change the levels to predict the response variable from by either double-clicking on a name or by selecting the names and clicking on the Change values button.

Change values Opens a window that lets you change the values of the currently selected grouping factors.
Remove Deletes the selected grouping factors from the list.

Form predictions for

Select the option Specified Terms only if you want to specify terms from the model to form predictions for. For example, specifying the term A.B would produce a two-way table of predictions classified by factors A and B.
