Output:

The following is an example of the output you should expect from a FREQ command:

Frequency Analysis
YVOTE:  Prediction  Year: 1988  Lambda=0.7143  Sigma=0.0820  Sims=100  N=18
XNEW:   const uc88u us88 pr88 avg88 pty!uc88 inc90
FREQ:   0.50  1.00

Expected Proportion:       0.5939
Standard Error (Total)     0.0988

Most of the information at the top of this output was provided to JudgeIt by the user: independent variables, the year for prediction, LAMBDA and SIGMA, the number of simulations (SIMS) and the number of observations (N). FREQ, in this example, provides the range of votes being reported. The printout then ends with the expected proportion of seats to fall within that range (as well as its standard error). In this case, FREQ gives the expected proportion of Democratic victories.
