kde

[deleted_user]

hi

I'm trying to use kde to generate a bivariate density estimate, but although the procedure runs and produces a plot it does not put the results into a SAS dataet. The code I'm using is:

ods html;
ods graphics on;

proc kde data=datain out=devn;
BIVAR VAR1 VAR2;
run;

ods graphics off;
ods html close;

and the data set size is ~510715 records.

The message I get back after the calculation is performed is:

NOTE: Processing BIVAR statement number 1.
NOTE: The data set WORK.DEVN has 0 observations and 0 variables

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

What version of SAS? The use of the OUT= changed between 8.2 and 9.2.

See page 2888

Ok I've figured it out the out option needs to go with the BIVAR statement and not the kde
