ESTIMATE <'label'> estimate-specification <(divisor=n)><, …<'label'> estimate-specification <(divisor=n)>></ options>;
The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests. Estimates are formed as linear estimable functions of the form . You can perform hypothesis tests for the estimable functions, construct confidence limits, and obtain specific nonlinear transformations.
Table 81.10 summarizes the options available in the ESTIMATE statement.
