https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/regression-with-dates/m-p/64842#M3092 I am working on a regression model that is trying to estimate the energy demand across the year. <BR /> <BR /> A previous attempt at this model used Heating Degree Days and month (actually an indicator of month of the year that is handed to a stepwise regression). <BR /> <BR /> I am hoping to improve on the model. There are obvious problems with repeated measures etc in the data.<BR /> <BR /> I'm wondering if there is a regression I can do in SAS using longitudinal data with repeated measures and if anyone can suggest a reference?

You transform the dates into something like degrees on the compass and then do the regression. It allows you to look at various sinusoidal type patterns. It helps to have a postulated model ( days of the week, say). I'm rusty on it, but there was a good bit of literature on it.
