The PSMOOTH Procedure

The output data set specified in the OUT= option of the PROC PSMOOTH statement contains any BY variables and ID variables. Then for each variable in the VAR statement, the original column is included along with a column for each method and bandwidth specified in the PROC PSMOOTH statement. These variable names are formed by adding the suffixes “_S”, “_F”, and “_T” for Simes’ method, Fisher’s method, and the TPM, respectively, and a bandwidth of size . For example, if the options BANDWIDTH=1,4 and SIMES, FISHER, and TPM are all specified in the PROC PSMOOTH statement, and RawP is the variable specified in the VAR statement, the OUT= data set includes RawP, RawP_S1, RawP_F1, RawP_T1, RawP_S4, RawP_F4, and RawP_T4. If the NEGLOG or NEGLOG10 option is specified in the PROC PSMOOTH statement, then these columns all contain the negative logs (base or base 10, respectively) of the -values.
