The HPGENSELECT Procedure

OUTPUT Statement

  • OUTPUT <OUT=SAS-data-set><keyword <=name>>…<keyword <=name>> </ options>;

The OUTPUT statement creates a data set that contains observationwise statistics that are computed after the model is fitted. The variables in the input data set are not included in the output data set to avoid data duplication for large data sets; however, variables that are specified in the ID statement are included.

The computation of the output statistics is based on the final parameter estimates. If the model fit does not converge, missing values are produced for the quantities that depend on the estimates.

When there are more than two response levels for multinomial data, values are computed only for variables that are named by the LINP and PREDICTED keywords; the other variables have missing values. These statistics are computed for every response category, and the automatic variable _LEVEL_ identifies the response category on which the computed values are based. If you also specify the OBSCAT option, then the observationwise statistics are computed only for the observed response category, as indicated by the value of the _LEVEL_ variable.

For observations in which only the response variable is missing, values of the XBETA and PREDICTED statistics are computed even though these observations do not affect the model fit. For zero-inflated models, ZBETA and PZERO are also computed. This practice enables predicted mean values or predicted probabilities to be computed for new observations.

You can specify the following syntax elements in the OUTPUT statement before the slash (/).

OUT=SAS-data-set
DATA=SAS-data-set

specifies the name of the output data set. If the OUT= (or DATA=) option is omitted, the procedure uses the DATAn convention to name the output data set.

keyword <=name>

specifies a statistic to include in the output data set and optionally assigns a name to the variable. If you do not provide a name, the HPGENSELECT procedure assigns a default name based on the type of statistic requested.

You can specify the following keywords for adding statistics to the OUTPUT data set:

ADJPEARSON<=name>
ADJPEARS<=name>
STDRESCHI<=name>

requests the Pearson residual, adjusted to have unit variance. The adjusted Pearson residual is defined for the ith observation as StartFraction y Subscript i Baseline minus mu Subscript i Baseline Over StartRoot phi normal upper V left-parenthesis mu Subscript i Baseline right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 1 minus h Subscript i Baseline right-parenthesis EndRoot EndFraction, where normal upper V left-parenthesis mu right-parenthesis is the response distribution variance function and h Subscript i is the leverage. The leverage h Subscript i of the ith observation is defined as the ith diagonal element of the hat matrix

bold upper H equals bold upper W Superscript one-half Baseline bold upper X left-parenthesis bold upper X prime bold upper W bold upper X right-parenthesis Superscript negative 1 Baseline bold upper X prime bold upper W Superscript one-half

where bold upper W is the diagonal matrix whose ith diagonal is w Subscript e i Baseline equals StartFraction w Subscript i Baseline Over phi normal upper V left-parenthesis mu Subscript i Baseline right-parenthesis left-parenthesis g prime left-parenthesis mu Subscript i Baseline right-parenthesis right-parenthesis squared EndFraction, and w Subscript i is a prior weight specified in a WEIGHT statement or 1 if no WEIGHT statement is specified. For the negative binomial, phi normal upper V left-parenthesis mu Subscript i Baseline right-parenthesis in the denominator is replaced with the distribution variance, in both the definition of the leverage and the adjusted residual.

This statistic is not computed for multinomial models, nor is it computed for zero-modified models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Adjusted_Pearson as the name.

LINP<=name>
XBETA<=name>

requests the linear predictor eta equals bold x prime bold-italic beta.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Xbeta as the name.

LOWER<=name>

requests a lower confidence limit for the predicted value. This statistic is not computed for generalized logit multinomial models or zero-modified models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Lower as the name.

PEARSON<=name>
PEARS<=name>
RESCHI<=name>

requests the Pearson residual, StartFraction y minus mu Over StartRoot normal upper V left-parenthesis mu right-parenthesis EndRoot EndFraction, where mu is the estimate of the predicted response mean and normal upper V left-parenthesis mu right-parenthesis is the response distribution variance function. For the negative binomial defined in the section Negative Binomial Distribution and the zero-inflated models defined in the sections Zero-Inflated Poisson Distribution and Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Distribution, the distribution variance is used in place of normal upper V left-parenthesis mu right-parenthesis.

This statistic is not computed for multinomial models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Pearson as the name.

PREDICTED<=name>
PRED<=name>
P<=name>

requests predicted values for the response variable.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Pred as the name.

PZERO<=name>

requests zero-inflation probabilities for zero-inflated models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Pzero as the name.

RESIDUAL<=name>
RESID<=name>
R<=name>

requests the raw residual, y minus mu, where mu is the estimate of the predicted mean. This statistic is not computed for multinomial models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Residual as the name.

ROLE<=name>

requests a numeric variable that indicates the role played by each observation in fitting the model. Table 8 shows the interpretation of this variable for each observation.

Table 8: Role Interpretation

Value Observation Role
0 Not used
1 Training
2 Validation
3 Testing


If you do not partition the input data by specifying a PARTITION statement, then the role variable value is 1 for observations that are used in fitting the model and 0 for observations that have at least one missing or invalid value for the response, regressors, frequency, or weight variable.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Role as the name.

UPPER<=name>

requests an upper confidence limit for the predicted value. This statistic is not computed for generalized logit multinomial models or zero-modified models.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Upper as the name.

ZBETA<=name>

requests the linear predictor for the zeros model in zero-modified models: kappa equals bold z prime bold-italic gamma.

If you do not specify a name, PROC HPGENSELECT assigns Zbeta as the name.

You can specify the following options in the OUTPUT statement after the slash (/):

ALPHA=number

specifies the significance level for the construction of confidence intervals in the OUTPUT data set. The confidence level is 1 minus sans-serif-italic number.

OBSCAT

requests (for multinomial models) that observationwise statistics be produced only for the response level. If the OBSCAT option is not specified and the response variable has J levels, then the following outputs are created: for cumulative link models, upper J minus 1 records are output for every observation in the input data that corresponds to the upper J minus 1 lower-ordered response categories; for generalized logit models, J records are output that correspond to all J response categories.
