The OUTPUT statement creates an output data table that contains the individual conditional expectation (ICE) values.

You must specify the following option:

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

libref: refers to a collection of information that is defined in the LIBNAME statement and includes the library, 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 libref, see the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.
data-table: specifies the name of the output data table.

You can also specify the following option:

COPYVAR=variable COPYVARS=(variables): lists one or more variables from the input data table to be transferred to the output data table.
