SCORE Statement

The LOESS Procedure

SCORE Statement

SCORE DATA=SAS-data-set < ID=(variable list) > < / options > ;

The fitted loess model is used to score the data in the specified SAS data set. This data set must contain all the regressor variables specified in the MODEL statement. Furthermore, when a BY statement is used, the score data set must also contain all the BY variables sorted in the order of the BY variables. A SCORE statement is optional, and more than one SCORE statement can be used. SCORE statements cannot be used if the DIRECT option is specified in the MODEL statement. ID variables specified in the optional ID= (variable list) specifies ID variables to be included in the "Score Results" table.

The following options are available in the SCORE statement after a slash (/).

CLM: requests that $100(1-\alpha$ ) confidence limits on the mean predicted value be added to the "Score Results" table. By default the 95% limits are computed; the ALPHA= option in the MODEL statement can be used to change the $\alpha$ -level. The use of this option implicitly selects the model option DFMETHOD=EXACT if the DFMETHOD= option has not been explicitly used.
PRINT: specifies that the "Score Results" table is to be displayed.
