Hi, 

 

Edition= Sas University Edition(9.4)

procedue=proc reg

data used contains categorical varaibles as 0/1 

 

code used=

 

proc reg data=Mylib.lineaf;
model revenue=Units_Sold Price mid tro dom;
output out=mylib.result predicted=p residual=r;
run;

 

/*where mid tro and dom contains varaibles as 0/1*/

 

Result encountering

 

The REG Procedure

  Number of Observations 89

Read Number of Observations 0

Used Number of Observations with Missing Values 89

 

 

But no further results are published  

Please help. not getting where exactly I am committing an error.

Your issue comes from this message: Used Number of Observations with Missing Values 89

 

The procedure requires all variables on the model statement to be present. Any record that has one or more values missing for any of the independent variables is dropped from the calculation.

Apparently every record you have has at least one missing value for the independent variables in the model.

But the output data shows that each of these variables mid tro dom are filled with either 0/1.I am not getting where the variables are missing

One of the variables is missing for every observation. It doesn't have to be the variables you mentioned.

 

Run a proc means on your data to see which variables have missing values.

 

proc means data=have n nmiss;

run;

I think every 0 in my variable data is appearing as missing variable.how to deal with it

Fix your input data - if it should be 0, make sure it's 0, if it should be missing make sure it's missing.

 

It's possible that somehow the MISSING option is set to 0, but you would have to have explicitly changed the setting. See the line of code below to reset the values.

 

 

options missing=.;

Ok. If your problem is resolved mark the question as solved, if not, indicate what the issue is outstanding. If you've tried something that didn't work please let me know.

Format and option missing display do not change underlying values.

 

something like:

data need;
   set have;
   array a _numeric_;
   do i=1 to dim(a);
      if missing(a[i]) then a[i]=0;
   end;
   drop i;
run;

to actually set the values to 0. Replace _numeric_ with an actual list of numeric variable names if desired.
