https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Forecasting-and-Econometrics/EMiner-question-on-forecasting-without-ETS/m-p/38526#M152 I have a project where I need to forecast an analysis variable for 12months. I have plenty of data - 24 months worth structured as a transaction dataset. However, the problems are:<BR /> <BR /> 1) I have EM 5.3 desktop version which does not include the Time Series node. <BR /> 2) I do not have ETS which enables Proc Forecast (or Time Series) to run. <BR /> 3) I installed the Trend Regression extension node provided by the book "Data Preparation" by Gerhart Svolba but it only looks at two timeperiods at a time and only provides a single value; however I do like using the node for other projects.<BR /> <BR /> I do not want to create a separate model to predict a value for each month, ex. "Regression model 1 for month 1" thru "Regression model 12 for month 12".<BR /> <BR /> Does anyone have any ideas on how I can tackle this challenge?
