The BNET Procedure

OUTPUT Statement

OUTPUT OUT=CAS-libref.data-table <options>;

The OUTPUT statement creates a data table to contain the predicted target values of the input table.

You must specify the following option:

OUT=CAS-libref.data-table

names the output data table for PROC BNET to use. You must specify this option before any other options. CAS-libref.data-table is a two-level name, where

CAS-libref: refers to a collection of information that is defined in the LIBNAME statement and includes the caslib, which includes a path to where the data table is to be stored, and a session identifier, which defaults to the active session but which can be explicitly defined in the LIBNAME statement. For more information about CAS-libref, see the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.
data-table: specifies the name of the output data table.

This table includes variables that are specified either in the COPYVARS= option or in the ID statement. If you specify PARTITION statement, the output includes one more column, _ROLE_. _ROLE_ is a reserved name. If it exist in the input data table and you specify it in the COPYVARS= option or in the ID statement, you need to use the ROLE= option to change the generated column’s name.

You can also specify the following options:

COPYVAR=variable COPYVARS=(variables): lists one or more variables from the input data table to be copied to the output data table.
ROLE=rolename: renames the generated column _ROLE_ in the output data table to the specified role.
