Collect Measures from a Test or Estimate

How To... > Work with Statistical Objects > Collect Measures from a Test or Estimate

The values computed in a test, estimation, or linear model object are also available for collecting as measures. This can be useful when the estimate or test is of a simulated situation or when you are manually changing the parameters and want to record each set of results.

The resulting collection will contain five identical (probably) cases. (Five is the default number of cases to collect.) You can delete four of them. Some of the attributes in the measures collection for testing a proportion are shown below. Each test or estimate has its own set of computed values that result in attributes in the measures collection.

As usual with a measures collection, you can collect more measures and control the number and conditions for collecting measures in the Collect Measures panel of the collection’s inspector. If the attributes in the test or estimate are randomly generated, Fathom rerandomizes before collecting each set of measures.
