The HPCOUNTREG Procedure

OUTPUT OUT= Data Set

The OUTPUT statement creates a new SAS data set that contains various estimates that you specify. You can request that the output data set contain the estimates of $\mathbf{x}_{i}’\bbeta $, the expected value of the response variable, and the probability that the response variable will take the current value. Furthermore, if a zero-inflated model is fit, you can request that the output data set contain the estimates of $\mathbf{z}_{i}’\bgamma $ and the probability that the response is 0 as a result of the zero-generating process. These statistics can be computed for all observations in which the regressors are not missing, even if the response is missing. By adding observations with missing response values to the input data set, you can compute these statistics for new observations or for settings of the regressors that are not present in the data without affecting the model fit. Because of potential space limitations on the client workstation, the data set that is created by the OUTPUT statement does not contain the variables in the input data set.
