Output datasets created by metaparm and parmcip

The output datasets (or resultssets) created by metaparm and parmcip have one observation per parameter
and data on their estimation results. After parmcip has executed successfully,
the dataset in memory will contain the following variables (and possibly others):

Default name Description

estimate Parameter estimate

stderr SE of parameter estimate

dof Degrees of freedom

t t-test statistic

z z-test statistic

p P-value

plower Lower one-tailed P-value

pupper Upper one-tailed P-value

stars Stars for P-value

starslower Stars for lower one-tailed P-value

starsupper Stars for upper one-tailed P-value

minyy Lower xx% confidence limit

maxyy Upper xx% confidence limit

These variables contain the same information, and have the same characteristics,
as the variables of the same names in the parmest resultsset.
The variables estimate, stderr and dof are usually present before the
execution of parmcip.
The others are added to the dataset by parmcip.
The variable t is created only if the tdist option is in force,
the variable z is only present if the notdist option is in force,
the variable stars is only present if the stars() option is specified,
the variable plower is only present if the plower option is specified,
the variable pupper is only present if the pupper option is specified,
the variable starslower is only present if the options plower and stars are specified,
and
the variable starsupper is only present if the options pupper and stars are specified.
All of these variables may have non-default names, which can be specified
by the options in parmcip_opts.

The output dataset created by metaparm contains all of these variables,
and may also contain the following additional variables:

Default name Description

idnum Numeric dataset ID

idstr String dataset ID

by-variables Variables specified in the by() option

sumvar-variables Variables specified in the sumvar() option

The variables with default names idnum and idstr may have non-default names,
which can be specified using the nidnum() and nidstr() options, described in
metaparm_content_opts.
The by-variables and sumvar-variables aare also described in
metaparm_content_opts.
