how to hide class level information

kimmygzc — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 06:23:02 GMT

one of the coding variables is of hundreds kinds, and the class level information table is too wide to display, how to hide it?

and how to order the parameters by estimator (in abs would be better)? can select top-n wanted only?

Hello,

What PROC are you using?

Most PROCs support the noprint; option (create an output dataset then, otherwise you have nothing 😉).

Parameter estimates cannot be sorted in displayed output.
But can be sorted in an output dataset of course.

Kind regards,

Koen

Thanks for your reply! Koen.
im using proc logistic, it's annoying to see stepwise mid results, too long to review, I'm looking for a way to filter the results.

Hello,

There are several ways to suppress stepwise "mid-results".

You can for example use ODS EXCLUDE or ODS SELECT.

(ODS = Output Delivery System)

Like in this example:

ods trace off;
ODS SELECT ParameterEstimates Association;

proc logistic data=Remission outest=betas covout;
   model remiss(event='1')=cell smear infil li blast temp
                / selection=stepwise
                  slentry=0.3
                  slstay=0.35
                  details
                  lackfit;
   output out=pred p=phat lower=lcl upper=ucl
          predprob=(individual crossvalidate);
   ods output Association=Association;
run;

proc print data=betas;
   title2 'Parameter Estimates and Covariance Matrix';
run;

I'll try, the proj file is collecting features and locked up.

ODS, good, do you happen to have a option list for different procs? I have also other procs needed to select output, like proc univariate, etc.

Thank you, Koen.

Hello @kimmygzc ,

If you navigate to a PROC in the SAS documentation, like PROC UNIVARIATE :

https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/procstat/procstat_univariate_toc.htm

Then go to "Details".

In the popup-dropdown-list, select "ODS Table Names" (it's in the bottom (almost) of the list).

The same is true for every PROC !

Also, you can use this ODS (open-code) statement
ODS TRACE ON;
This will publish the name of every displayed output object in the LOG. That way, you know what to select or exclude in a next run.
The opposite is
ODS TRACE OFF;
