OUTPUT, SAVEDATA, And PLOT CommandsSWMATRIX IS swmatrix.dat;where swmatrix.dat is the name of the file in which the analysis resultswill be saved. If the working directory contains a file of the same name,it will be overwritten.For the DATA IMPUTATION command and the IMPUTATION optionof the DATA command, the SWMATRIX option is specified as follows:SWMATRIX IS sw*.dat;where the asterisk (*) is replaced by the number of the imputed data set.A file is also produced that contains the names of all of the imputed datasets. To name this file, the asterisk (*) is replaced by the word list. Thefile, in this case swlist.dat, contains the names of the imputed data sets.This file is used with the SWMATRIX of the DATA command insubsequent analyses.RESULTSThe RESULTS option is used to specify the name of the ASCII file inwhich the results of an analysis will be saved. The results saved includeparameter estimates, standard errors of the parameter estimates, and fitstatistics. If the STANDARDIZED option of the OUTPUT command isused, standardized parameters estimates and their standard errors willalso be saved. Following is an example of how to specify the RESULTSoption:RESULTS ARE results.dat;where results.dat is the name of the file in which the analysis results willbe saved. If the working directory contains a file of the same name, itwill be overwritten. The data are saved using free format delimited by aspace.ESTIMATESThe ESTIMATES option is used to specify the name of the ASCII file inwhich the parameter estimates of an analysis will be saved. The savedparameter estimates can be used in a subsequent Monte Carlo simulationstudy as population values for data generation and/or coverage values669
