IMsPooledModelTransform.Coefficients

Syntax

Coefficients(Coord: IMsFormulaTransformCoord): Array;

Parameters

Coord. Output variable slice, for which calculation is executed.

Description

The Coefficients property determines an array of values of model equation coefficients.

Comments

Coord cannot be set to Null.

If the equation includes a constant, its value is specified in the last element of the Coefficients array.

To save the coefficients in Coefficients, it is necessary to place the values array to reset coefficients, that is, to set the Null value. The IMsPooledModelTransform.IsCoefficientsSaved property determines whether the coefficients are saved.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the OBJ_MS identifier. This container must include a model with the MODEL identifier that uses panel data regression method for calculation.

Add links to the Metabase, Ms, Stat system assemblies.

After executing the example the model coefficients are saved and displayed in the console window. The autoregression coefficients and part of summary statistics are displayed: the value of standard error.
