PARTIALDEPEND Procedure

PROC PARTIALDEPEND Statement

  • PROC PARTIALDEPEND <options>;

The PROC PARTIALDEPEND statement invokes the procedure. Table 1 summarizes the options in this statement.

Table 1: PROC PARTIALDEPEND Statement Options

Option Description
Basic Options
DATA= Specifies the input data table
LOGLEVEL= Specifies a value to control the quantity and type of notes to print to the client log
NTHREADS= Specifies the number of threads to use in the computation
REPLICATETYPE= Specifies whether to replicate bin cutpoints or midpoints for an interval analysis variable
SAMPLESIZE= Specifies the approximate number of observations to sample from the input data table
SEED= Specifies the seed value for pseudorandom number generation


You can specify the following options:

DATA=libref.data-table

names the input data table for PROC PARTIALDEPEND to use. The default is the most recently created data table. 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 the data. For more information about libref, see the section Using SAS Viya Workbench.

data-table

specifies the name of the input data table.

LOGLEVEL=number

controls the quantity and type of notes to print to the client log. A value of 0 prints only warnings and errors; a value of 1 prints some notes; and a value of 2 prints many notes.

By default, LOGLEVEL=1.

NTHREADS=number

specifies the number of threads to use in the computation. The default value is the number of CPUs available on the machine.

REPLICATETYPE=CUTPOINTS |MIDPOINTS

specifies whether to replicate bin cutpoints or midpoints for an interval analysis variable.

By default, REPLICATETYPE=CUTPOINTS.

SAMPLESIZE=number

specifies the approximate number of observations to sample from the input data table. The value of number must be between 100 and 5000, inclusive.

By default, SAMPLESIZE=1000.

SEED=number

specifies the seed value for pseudorandom number generation. If you do not specify a seed or you specify a value less than or equal to 0, the seed is generated by reading the time of day from the computer’s clock.
