PROC TPSPLINE assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names to reference the table when using the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. These names are listed in the following table. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 20, Using the Output Delivery System.

By referring to the names of such tables, you can use the ODS OUTPUT statement to place one or more of these tables in output data sets.

For example, the following statements create an output data set named FitStats containing the FitStatistics table, an output data set named DataInfo containing the DataSummary table, an output data set named ModelInfo containing the FitSummary table, and an output data set named GCVFunc containing the GCVFunction table.

   proc tpspline data=Melanoma;
      model Incidences=Year /LOGNLAMBDA=(-4 to 0 by 0.2);
      ods output FitStatistics = FitStats
                 DataSummary   = DataInfo
                 FitSummary    = ModelInfo
                 GCVFunction   = GCVFunc;
   run;
