Hello,

I am using ITS (ARIMA) to study the impact of intervention on drug utilzation.

Based on the above codes: My question is when to use crosscorr= [Step(1,4) Ramp(1,4)] and when to use only crosscorr= [Step Ramp]?

I know in order to choose between different ARIMA models, I need to check SBC and AIC (the lower the better model).

Also, I attached the output for both trial 1 and 3 SAS codes. Could you please advise which model is better and why?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @LNA2021 ,

 

I have moved your question to the

SAS Forecasting and Econometrics board (under the Analytics header).

You will get much better answers here.

 

Note there's a lot of literature on this subject.
And many approaches are taken : ARIMA(X) , State Space Models (SSM), Mixed models , ...

But to re-assure you : PROC ARIMA can definitely be used for interrupted time series analysis.

 

Cheers,

Koen
