PROC CAUSALMED assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names to refer to the table when you use the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. These names are listed in Table 6. The options or specifications of the specific statements that produce these output tables are shown in the last two columns. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 23, Using the Output Delivery System.
Table 6: ODS Tables Produced by the CAUSALMED Procedure
| ODS Table Name | Description | Statement | Option or Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| BootstrapSamples | Information about bootstrap samples | BOOTSTRAP | Default |
| ClassLevels | Classification variable levels | CLASS | Classification variables |
| EffectDecomp | Decompositions of the total effect | PROC CAUSALMED | DECOMP |
| EffectSummary | Summary of the direct and mediated effects | Default | |
| MediatorEstimates | Parameter estimates for the mediator model | PROC CAUSALMED | PMEDMOD |
| MediatorProfile | Frequency counts for a binary mediator variable | CLASS | Binary mediator |
| ModelInfo | Model information | Default | |
| NObs | Number of observations | Default | |
| OutcomeEstimates | Parameter estimates for the outcome model | PROC CAUSALMED | POUTCOMEMOD |
| PercentDecomp | Percentage decompositions of the total effect | PROC CAUSALMED | DECOMP |
| ResponseProfile | Frequency counts for a binary outcome variable | MODEL | DIST=BIN |
| TreatmentProfile | Frequency counts for a binary treatment variable | CLASS | Binary treatment |
To control the display of multiple ODS tables, you can override the "Default" settings in Table 6 by specifying global display options in the PROC CAUSALMED statement. Table 7 shows these options. The ODS tables that are displayed by these options are marked by *. Notice that the NOPRINT option suppresses all ODS table output.
