Hello,
I would like to konw which method give the best result for the matrix with the number between 0 et 1:
==> I have two matrix A and B, 0<=Aij<=1, 0<= Bij<=1
Which metho gives the best results :
1- IML Proc
or
2- proc sql
do i=1 to L;
proc sql;
create table prod as
select (...)+(....) as Vi
t1 m ,Tran_t2 n;
quit;
end;
Any documentation for that are welcomed
For matrix computations, use IML.
Your title says "matrix product," by which I assume you want the standard matrix multiplication:
C = A*B;
However, read this article "Ways to multiply in the SAS/IML language" if you want a different product.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes, I want to do C=A*B
But, I can use IML proc or SQL proc , I have a small number.
Please, which method (IML or SQL) is better for the small number ?
As I said, you should use IML for matrix computations.
All SAS procedures use double precision computations. If your numbers are so small that you think the computation will result in a numerical overflow or underflow, it probably doesn't make a difference how you perform the computation. If you post the data and a sample program, we might be able to say more.
Thank you for your message.
As an exemple,
You can take
A= (Aij)==> 0<Aij<1
B = (Bij)==> 0<Bij<1
Methode 1: Using IML proc
C=A*B
Method 2: Using SQl poc
C= A*transpose(B)
For the precise problem , you'd better use IML's function XMULT() to calculate Matrix Product.
z = xmult(x,y);
print z;
Look like FORMAT is not good for displaying precision.
Thank you for your answer.
It is a good idea.
What's about the results found by sql proc ? C=A*transpose(B)
