The SPARSEML Procedure

OUTPUT Statement

The OUTPUT statement creates an output data table that contains the predicted values of the input data table.

You must specify the following option:

OUT=CAS-libref.data-table

names the output data table for PROC SPARSEML 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.

You can also specify the following option:

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