The TABFIT operation generates, as a by-product, the design matrix extended by the dependent variate and the external weight function according to the current model. This matrix is saved (even in saturated cases) as a matrix file XTAB.M . The matrix file XTAB.M as such (or more conveniently, its transform to a data file by FILE SAVE MAT operation) can be used as an input data set for GENREG. Data for various models including factors and their inter- actions can be organized easily by this procedure. T = TABFIT operation G = More information on GENREG
