DEEPPRICE Procedure

INFER Statement

  • INFER options;

The INFER statement specifies the parameters for inference. You can specify one or more of the following options:

OUT=libref.data-table
OUTEST=libref.data-table

writes the estimation of the parameters of interest and the policy evaluation and policy comparison results to the specified output data table. libref.data-table is a two-level name, where libref refers to the library, and data-table specifies the name of the output data table. For more information about this two-level name, see the DATA= option and the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.

OUTDETAILS=libref.data-table

writes the details of the estimation, including alpha left parenthesis dot right parenthesis, beta left parenthesis dot right parenthesis, p left parenthesis dot right parenthesis, the residual, and the influence functions for each unit, to the specified output data table. libref.data-table is a two-level name, where libref refers to the library, and data-table specifies the name of the output data table. For more information about this two-level name, see the DATA= option and the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.

POLICY=(policy-variable-list)

specifies the list of policy variables to be evaluated. All symbol names that the user specifies in the policy-variable-list must correspond to the policy variables; the symbol names are separated by spaces.

POLICYCOMPARISON=(comparison-options)

specifies the options for policy comparison. You must specify the following comparison-options:

BASE=(base-list)

specifies a list of policy variables, each of which is used as a base policy in the policy comparison. All symbol names that the user specifies in the base-list must correspond to the policy variables; the symbol names are separated by spaces.

COMPARE=(compare-list)

specifies a list of policy variables, each of which is compared to each base policy that you specify in the BASE= option. All symbol names that the user specifies in the compare-list must correspond to the policy variables; the symbol names are separated by spaces.
