lag statement

[sasphd]

can someone tell me how to write lagged variable in proc panel

I write

y= lag(X);

it does not work???????????

[art297]

lag X1(1 3) X2(3 6 9) X3(2) / out=A_lag;

It's defined at: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etsug/63939/HTML/default/viewer.htm#etsug_panel_sect015....

I see that 

What does it mean 

(1 3)

(3 6 9)

(2)

[art297]

if you only want a lag of 1 for variable X you would use: lag x(1);

RTM - the link was provided.

LAG var( ... ) , ..., var( ... ) < / OUT= SAS-data-set > ;

So the VAR indicates the variable that a lag will be created for, while the numbers in the parentheses indicate the lag that will be calculated ie

lag var1 (1 2 3) creates 3 lagged variables for a lag of 1, 2 and 3 periods respectively. 

RTM to see how the variables are labeled or alternatives to the LAG function.

I write my program like that but it does not work

proc panel data= flux;
id rankdate rank_no;
model flux= lag estimate(1) / fixone noint HCCME=0 cluster;
ods output ParameterEstimates=res;
run;

[art297 · Accepted solution]

lag is not an option but, rather, a statement. e.g.,

LAG var( ... ) , ..., var( ... ) < / OUT= SAS-data-set > ;

You use it to create an output dataset that would then be analyzed with a separate call to proc panek,
