PROC CATMOD: unclear parameter names (B1, B2...)

[Ruth]

Hi there,

I used PROC CATMOD to run a model. The parameter names from the OUTEST are procuded as B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B199, B200, B201. Don't know why this procedure produces the parameter estimates in these names. It is very confusing for people to identify which is which. Is there any way to use some option to improve this? Thanks in advance.

PROC CATMOD DATA=city;

RESPONSE/OUTEST=work.params;

MODEL group=sex married income region/NOITER NORESPONSE NODESIGN NOPROFILE;

RUN;

QUIT;

[data_null__]

I think you will find the ODS OUTPUT more helpful.

   ods output Estimates=Estimates;
