Warning Message in Proc Logistic's Log-> "Some plots have more than 5000 observations ....."

turcay — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 22:39:59 GMT

Hello eveyone,

Due to my project, I use Proc Logistic frequently, however, when I execute the procedure, I always get the following Warning message and I want to prevent this.

1st-> What can be the reason for?

2nd-> How can I prevent my log?

WARNING: Some plots have more than 5000 observations and are suppressed. Specify the PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=NONE) option in the PROC
LOGISTIC statement to display the plots.
WARNING: The effect plots have more than 5000 observations; the observations are suppressed. Specify the PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=NONE)
option in the PROC LOGISTIC statement to display the observations.

I'd like to state that I work with millions data.

Can anybody help me, please?

Thank you

What happens when tried the suggested options?

WARNING: Some plots have more than 5000 observations and are suppressed. Specify the PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=NONE) option in the PROC LOGISTIC statement to display the plots.

Hello @Reeza,

Normally, I wrote this statement as PLOTS(ONLY)=ROC but I'm not sure whether PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=NONE) has any affect the results.

Ods Graphics On;
Ods Output ResponseProfile=Res_&Suffix. Association=Roc_&Suffix. ParameterEstimates=Err_&Suffix.;
PROC LOGISTIC DATA=&Dataset. /*PLOTS(ONLY)=ROC*/ PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=NONE);
Ods Select ROCCurve ;
MODEL &Target. (Event = "1")=&P_Target./SELECTION=NONE LINK=LOGIT;
RUN;
QUIT;
Ods Output Close;
Ods Graphics Off;

After I wrote the statement then I get the following error, what about this how I can prevent this Warning message.

WARNING: Output 'ROCCurve' was not created. Make sure that the output object name, label, or path is spelled correctly. Also,

verify that the appropriate procedure options are used to produce the requested output object. For example, verify that

the NOPRINT option is not used.

Thank you

That's weird, your code doesn't show a request for that table which is where you'd see the error.

You can probably specify both maxpoints and roccurve, I don't see any reason why they would be mutually exclusive.

Edit: oh, you've placed it after your proc logistic. At any rate, still try specifying both.

You can combine the options:

proc logistic ... plots(only maxpoints=none)=roc;
