Plotting Exponential Decay Curves in SAS and Analysis

[Lorezo]

Hi,

Sorry for the potentially novice question but I am stumped on how to plot an exponential decay curve for my data. In addition to this, I also wanted to run analysis on my data with this model but predicting parameters and also p values and r^2 values.

Through digging online and such I came up with this set of code where I predicted starting parameters. I am hoping someone may have an easier solution and can help me run the analysis with my data.

data hosp;
input time sa @@;
infile datalines dlm='09'x;
datalines;

proc sgscatter; plot time*sa;

proc nlmixed data=hosp;
parms g0=84.537 g1=-0.078 sigma=1.3;
mu=g0*exp(g1*time);
model sa ~ normal(mu,sigma*sigma);
predict g0*exp(g1*time) out=fit;

proc sgplot data=fit;
scatter x=time y=sa;
series x=time y=pred;

Thanks in advance and sorry again for the novice question.

What is wrong with the code you show?

[Lorezo]

Sorry nothing is wrong with the code but I was wondering if there was a better way to plot the curve to make it look for clean.

I primarily was wondering how to run analysis on the model to find the parameters and p values.

I don't know what that means. Please explain further. Show us an example.

I thought your existing code does that.
