The PLM Procedure

CODE Statement

CODE <options> ;

The CODE statement enables you to write SAS DATA step code for computing predicted values of the fitted model either to a file or to a catalog entry. This code can then be included in a DATA step to score new data.

Table 69.3 summarizes the options available in the CODE statement.

Table 69.3: CODE Statement Options

ERROR

Computes the error function

FILE=

Names the file where the generated code is saved

FORMAT=

Specifies the numeric format for the regression coefficients

GROUP=

Specifies the group identifier for array names and statement labels

IMPUTE
