The form of the OUTPATH= data set is determined by the PROC SIMILARITY statement SORTNAMES and ORDER= options. Names the output data set to contain the path used to compute the similarity measures for each slide and warp. The form of the OUTMEASURE= data set is determined by the PROC SIMILARITY statement SORTNAMES and ORDER= options. Names the output data set to contain the detailed similarity measures by time ID value.
SAS SIMILARITY SERIES
The OUT= data set is particularly useful when you want to further analyze, model, or forecast the resulting time series with other SAS/ETS procedures. The values are transformed based on the INPUT or TARGET statement TRANSFORM=, DIF=, and SDIF= options in this order. The values are accumulated based on the ID statement INTERVAL= option or the ACCUMULATE= options or both. If an ID variable is specified in the ID statement, it is also included in the OUT= data set. Names the output data set to contain the time series variables specified in the subsequent INPUT and TARGET statements. The results are stored and printed based on both the TARGET and INPUT variables. Specifies that each TARGET variable be processed and then the INPUT variables be processed. The results are stored and printed based only on the TARGET variables. The results are stored and printed based on both the INPUT and TARGET variables. Specifies that each INPUT variable be processed and then the TARGET variables be processed. The results are stored and printed based only on the INPUT variables. You must specify one of the following order-options: INPUT
The SORTNAMES option also affects the ordering of the analysis. This ordering affects the OUTSEQUENCE=, OUTPATH=, OUTMEASURE=, and OUTSUM= data sets, in addition to the printed and graphical output. Specifies the order in which the variables listed in the INPUT and TARGET statements are to be processed.
If the DATA= option is not specified, the most recently created SAS data set is used. Names the SAS data set that contains the time series, transactional, or sequence input data for the procedure.
