The BGLIMM Procedure

The "Parameters Initial" table (ODS table name ParametersInit) shows the initial value of each fixed regression coefficient. This table is not displayed by default. You can display it by specifying the INIT=PINIT option in the MODEL statement.

The "Constant Priors for Fixed Effects" table (ODS table name ConstantCoeffPrior) shows the information for the constant prior for the fixed-effects coefficients. The table is displayed by default for a model that contains fixed effects.

The "Independent Normal Priors for Fixed Effects" table (ODS table name IndepNormalCoeffPrior) shows the information for the independent normal prior for the fixed-effects coefficients. The table is displayed when you specify that fixed effects have an independent normal prior.

The "Normal Priors for Fixed Effects" table (ODS table name NormalCoeffPrior) shows the information for the normal prior for the fixed-effects coefficients. The table is displayed when you specify that fixed effects have a normal prior and are not independent.

The "Priors for Scale and Covariance Parameters" table (ODS table name ScaleCovPrior) shows the prior distributions for the scale and covariance parameters. The table is displayed by default for a model that contains any scale and covariance parameters.
