Hi Guys,

Good afternoon from Australia. I was trying to run a trajectory modelling using the following syntax:

 

PROC TRAJ DATA=QTCSTraj OUTPLOT=OP OUTSTAT=OS OUT=OF OUTEST=OE ITDETAIL ALTSTART;
ID StudyCODE; VAR BODYSHAPE5 BODYSHAPE10 BODYSHAPETEEN BODYSHAPE20 BODYSHAPE30 BODYSHAPE40 BODYSHAPE50 BODYSHAPE60 BODYSHAPE70; INDEP M1-M9;
MODEL CNORM;
NGROUPS 2; MIN 1; MAX 9;
ORDER 1 1 ;
RUN;

 

But it comes with :

 

ERROR: Floating Point Overflow.
ERROR: Termination due to Floating Point Exception

 

Google says this error is subjected to exceptionally large or small numbers, which I don't have in my data.

Can you help me why this is not running?

 

Cheers

Sabbir

Hi:
PROC TRAJ is not a SAS-written procedure. Please search on the forum for previous questions about PROC TRAJ. PROC TRAJ is a user-written procedure. So it is supported by the person who wrote it (at CMU).

From this paper, it looks like it was written by researches at Carnegie-Mellon:
https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/bjones/pdf/ref1.pdf

And this appears to be the CMU web site:

Hi @strqimr, I am having the very same problem you describe (and also am in Australia!). Did you end up figuring out what the issue was?

 

Many thanks,
