The LIFEREG Procedure

ODS Table Names

PROC LIFEREG 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 separately in Table 57.13 for a maximum likelihood analysis and in Table 57.14 for a Bayesian analysis. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 20: Using the Output Delivery System.
