Plot 3D non linear regression surface.

[rnmishra]

I have found that a lot of diagnostic plots for non linear regression models can be obtained using the  codes available at the SAS support webiste

ods graphics on;

proc nlin data=contrived bias hougaard

  NLINMEASURES plots(stats=all)=(diagnostics);

  parms alpha=2.0

  gamma=0.0;

  model y = alpha*x1 + exp(gamma*x2);

run;

ods graphics off;

In addition I am interested to plot the 3D regression surface with axes Y, X1 and X2.

My dependent variable is Y and the predictor variables are X1 and X2. My non linear model is similar to the one  given above.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Raghu.

GIven you can compute the fitted surface as a response Z for an X, Y even grid, you can use the SurfacePlotParm statement in GTL to plot the surface.  The data must be gridded.  If not, use the G3Grid procedure to grid the data.

However, GTL does not have a 3D scatter (point cloud), etc., mainly because there has been no demand.  if you need such 3D plots, please call your request into Tech Support.  GTL does have a BivariateHistogram3D statement.
