PROC BGLIMM calculates some essential posterior statistics and outputs them to a number of ODS tables. Some of the ODS tables are produced by default, and you can request others by specifying an option in the PROC BGLIMM statement. For more information about the calculations, see the section Summary Statistics in ChapterĀ 8, Introduction to Bayesian Analysis Procedures.
The "Posterior Summaries and Intervals" table (ODS table name PostSumInt) contains basic summary and interval statistics for each parameter. The table lists the number of posterior samples, the posterior mean and standard deviation estimates, and the highest posterior density (HPD) interval estimates. This table is displayed by default.
The "Posterior Summaries" table (ODS table name PostSummaries) contains basic statistics for each parameter. The table lists the number of posterior samples, the posterior mean and standard deviation estimates, and the percentile estimates. This table is not displayed by default. You can request it by specifying the STATISTICS=SUM option in the PROC BGLIMM statement.
The "Posterior Correlation Matrix" table (ODS table name Corr) contains the posterior correlation of model parameters. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the STATISTICS=CORR option in the PROC BGLIMM statement.
The "Posterior Covariance Matrix" table (ODS table name Cov) contains the posterior covariance of model parameters. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the STATISTICS=COV option in the PROC BGLIMM statement.
The "Deviance Information Criterion" table (ODS table name DIC) contains the deviance information criterion (DIC) of the model. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the DIC option in the PROC BGLIMM statement. For more information about the calculations, see the section Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) in ChapterĀ 8, Introduction to Bayesian Analysis Procedures.
The "Posterior Intervals" table (ODS table name PostIntervals) contains the equal-tail and highest posterior density (HPD) interval estimates for each parameter. The default value is 0.05, and you can change it to other levels by using the STATISTICS= option in the PROC BGLIMM statement. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the STATISTICS=INT option.
The "Estimated G Matrix" table (ODS table name G) contains the estimated matrix. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the G option in a RANDOM statement.
The "Estimated G Correlation Matrix" table (ODS table name GCorr) contains the correlation matrix that corresponds to the estimated matrix. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the GCORR option in a RANDOM statement.
