Saving the residuals with the data
!RESIDUALS
!RESIDUALS [ n ]
instructs ASReml to write the transformed
data and the residuals to a binary file. The residual is the last
field. The file
basename.srs
is written in single precision unless the argument is 2
in which case
basename.drs
is written in double precision.
The file will not be written
from a spatial analysis (two-dimensional error) when the data records
have been sorted into field order because the residuals are not in
the same order that the data is stored.
The residual from a spatial analysis will have the units
part added to it when units is also fitted. The
.drs file could be renamed
(with extension .dbl) and used for input in a subsequent run.
Note that the binary data file does not contain any variable class name information.
When either !RESIDUALS !SAVE or
!SAVE
is specified, ASReml saves
the factor level labels to a basename.vll and attempts to
read them back when data input is from a binary file. Note
that if the job basename changes between runs, the .vll file
will need to be copied to the new basename. If the .vll file
does not match the factor structure (i.e. the same factors in
the same order), reading the .vll file is aborted.
