The ICLIFETEST Procedure not found

[BlueNose]

Hello all,

I have a simple question, I tried to run the new proc ICLIFETEST and SAS told me it cannot be found. I use SAS 9.4, so I assumed I will have the new proc.

Can you shade some light on the matter ? I would really like to use it for interval censoring problem. I ran instead the MACRO %EMICM but it doesn't give the quartiles estimates, which is what I need actually.

Thanks !

Hi,

Looks like SAS/STAT 13.1 in SAS 9.4 TS1M1 is required for ICLIFETEST:

ICLIFETEST

24980 - Nonparametric estimation and comparison of survival curves from interval-censored data

Submitting the following SAS code should tell you what you have licensed:

proc setinit;

run;

Hi,

I have SAS 9.4 TS 1M0.

I didn't realize there are sub-versions, thought I was up to date :smileyshocked:

Hi,

One of the links I sent contained the following note saying "added to the ICLIFETEST procedure", possibly implying it already existed(?)

NOTE: Beginning with SAS/STAT 13.1 in SAS 9.4 TS1M1, the functionality of these macros has been updated and added to the ICLIFETEST procedure. For details, see the ICLIFETEST documentation.

Might be worth getting in touch with SAS Technical Support.

Just to eliminate the obvious, you did spell it correctly didn't you?

Regards,

Amir.

I believe I did, I think I used COPY+PASTE on this one.

You are right, it does say "Added", so it should be there, weird...it should belong to SAS/STAT so it must be installed.
