Is there a way to have these included and estimated as I need estimates for all parameters. Also, what role does the Scale Parameter play in the model and how or does it have any impact on any of the parameter estimates. Thanks in Advance.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 Mar 2015 01:19:32 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Re-Scale-Parameter-and-Missing-Last-Parameter-Estimate/m-p/205429#M11038 twildone 2015-03-19T01:19:32Z Re: Scale Parameter and Missing Last Parameter Estimate https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Re-Scale-Parameter-and-Missing-Last-Parameter-Estimate/m-p/205430#M11039 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are all your class levels listed?
