DEEPCAUSAL Procedure

MODEL Statement

MODEL outcome-variable<=covariates> </options >;

The MODEL statement specifies options that are related to the outcome model and the DNN to fit the outcome model. The outcome-variable specifies the outcome variable of the outcome model. The covariates specify the covariates of the outcome model. If you omit the covariates, no DNN is trained for the outcome model. For more information about the outcome model, see the section Outcome Model. Covariate names must be separated by spaces. The treatment variable is automatically included in the outcome model as an independent variable.

You can specify the following option after a forward slash (/):

DNN=(dnn-options): specifies the options of the DNN for the outcome model. If you omit this option and specify the DNN statement, the DNN for the outcome model has the options that you specify in the DNN statement. If you omit both this option and the DNN statement, the DNN for the outcome model uses the default option values. If you specify both this option and the DNN statement, the DNN statement is ignored for the outcome model. For the dnn-options, you can specify one or more options that are listed in the section DNN Statement. If no covariates are specified in the MODEL statement, the DNN= option is ignored.
