The REG Procedure

Model Fit and Diagnostic Statistics

This section gathers the formulas for the statistics available in the MODEL, PLOT, and OUTPUT statements. The model to be fit is , and the parameter estimate is denoted by . The subscript i denotes values for the ith observation, the parenthetical subscript means that the statistic is computed by using all observations except the ith observation, and the subscript jj indicates the jth diagonal matrix entry. The ALPHA= option in the PROC REG or MODEL statement is used to set the value for the t statistics.

Table 7 contains the summary statistics for assessing the fit of the model.

Table 7: Formulas and Definitions for Model Fit Summary Statistics

Model Option or Statistic	Definition or Formula
n	The number of observations
p	The number of parameters including the intercept
i	1 if there is an intercept, 0 otherwise
	The estimate of pure error variance from the SIGMA= option or from fitting the full model
	The uncorrected total sum of squares for the dependent variable
	The total sum of squares corrected for the mean for the dependent variable
	The error sum of squares









	The sum of squares of (see Table 8)

Table 8 contains the diagnostic statistics and their formulas; these formulas and further information can be found in Chapter 4, Introduction to Regression Procedures, and in the section Influence Statistics. Each statistic is computed for each observation.
