The BGLIMM Procedure

Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, by specifying the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

The overall appearance of graphs is controlled by ODS styles. Styles and other aspects of using ODS Graphics are discussed in the section A Primer on ODS Statistical Graphics in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

When ODS Graphics is enabled, the BGLIMM procedure by default produces plots of the partial predictions for each spline term in the model. Use the PLOTS option in the PROC BGLIMM statement to control aspects of these plots.

PROC BGLIMM assigns a name to each graph that it creates by using ODS. You can use these names to refer to the graphs when using ODS. The names are listed in Table 19.

You can refer by name to every graph that is produced through ODS Graphics. The names of the graphs that PROC BGLIMM generates are listed in Table 19.
