Proc Reg: Interactivity disabled with BY processing

Zakir — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 11:24:47 GMT

Hi,

I have got three sub-samples where I want to run regression. After getting the results of first group, I tried to execute the statements but SAS is not execting the proc reg command and giving the following the notes:

proc reg data=var.rmkt_tdate2 outest=var.alpha2(rename=(intercept=alpha mkt_ret=beta) keep=isin tradedate intercept mkt_ret _edf_) edf noprint;
by isin tradedate; model return=mkt_ret;
where 0<=relday<=180;
run;

NOTE: Interactivity disabled with BY processing.
NOTE: PROCEDURE REG used (Total process time):
real time 2:09.30
cpu time 9.71 seconds

NOTE: The data set VAR.ALPHA2 has 0 observations and 5 variables.

I want to get regression outputs each time I run the command. Can anyone please help me to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Zakir

Interactivity being disabled is NOT a problem. You don't need interactivity for what you are doing. It is a note not an error.

Is it a problem that you do not have interactivity? Do you need it?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Can you please help by showing how do I get
estimated parameters. You may have seen that output file has 0 observations.

Thanks.

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but the problem is not related to interactivity. Do you have data going in? Have you tried it with a new SAS session? You might have done something wrong previously. You did not provide data, so no one else can replicate what you are doing.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. It is showing in log and output file has got 0
observations. I want regression parameters to be estimated.

Thanks!!

Hi @Zakir,

To get an answer to @WarrenKuhfeld's important question "Do you have data going in?" you may want to run this step and examine the result in view of the WHERE condition 0<=relday<=180:

proc means data=var.rmkt_tdate2;
var relday;
run;
