I am trying to calculate the linear forecast value for 13, but I do not have the Proc Forecast procedure. That's why I'm trying Proc Reg. Please suggest how to find the forecast value of revenue and state columns separately
> Please suggest how to find the forecast value of revenue and state columns separately
Can you explain what you mean by "separately"? Do you mean that Revenue and State are both response variables, and you want to predict each of them by using a linear model that is fit to the first 12 years of those variables? If so, just use two MODEL statements, one for Revenue and one for State.
You can do this by making two calls to PROC REG and merging the results, or (since PROC REG is an interactive procedure), by using two MODEL statements in the same call, as shown below.
