Dear Sir,

I wish to create a year dummies using the yearly financial data. Each firm has a variable 'fyear' which represent fyear.

I have fyear ranging from 2001-2011, how do i create year dummies the fastest way.

fyear 2001=dummies yr2001;

fyear 2002=dummies yr 2002;

how do i write the codes?

Ha, EASY.

data x;
do fyear=2000,2004 ,2006to 2008,2010,2012;
output;
end;
fyear=2014;output;
fyear=2020;output;
run;
proc sql noprint;
 select distinct cats('yr',fyear) into : list separated by ' ' from x;
quit;
data x;
set x;
 array _y{*} &list ;
 do i=1 to dim(_y);
  _y{i}=0 ;
 end;
 do i=1 to dim(_y);
  if fyear=input(compress(vname(_y{i}),'yr'),best8.) then _y{i}=1;
 end;
  drop i;

PROC TRANSREG or PROC GLMMOD

If i write a long way, it should be like this, it is easy to do if it is only 12 years, but if let's say i have industries of 100 ind, it is going to be very tedious. how do i write the prog codes using proc transreg or proc glmmod?

data spi4;

set spi.spi3;

if fyear=2000 then yr2000=1;else yr2000=0;

if fyear=2001 then yr2001=1;else yr2001=0;

if fyear=2002 then yr2002=1;else yr2002=0;

if fyear=2003 then yr2003=1;else yr2003=0;

if fyear=2004 then yr2004=1;else yr2004=0;

if fyear=2005 then yr2005=1;else yr2005=0;

if fyear=2006 then yr2006=1;else yr2006=0;

if fyear=2007 then yr2007=1;else yr2007=0;

if fyear=2008 then yr2008=1;else yr2008=0;

if fyear=2009 then yr2009=1;else yr2009=0;

if fyear=2010 then yr2010=1;else yr2010=0;

if fyear=2011 then yr2011=1;else yr2011=0;

run;

Thanks

For TRANSREG look for an example in the documentation regarding using the DESIGN option.

All GLMMOD examples are DESIGN matrix related as that's all it does.

Array is a good friend.

data x;
do fyear=2001 to 2011;
output;
end;
run;
data x;
set x;
 array _y{*} yr2001-yr2011 ;
 do i=1 to dim(_y);
  _y{i}=0;
 end;
 _y{fyear-2000}=1; 
 drop i;
run;

What happens if you don't know how many levels of FYEAR?

Ha, EASY.

If you say so.  I would use PROC TRANSREG but I like easy.

Thanks for introducing proc transreg to us. I am still studying the doc. Always amazed by your knowledge on Procs and SAS overall.

Well constructed! Thanks for sharing!

FWIW, using 'Do-Over' can save some typing:

data x;

do fyear=2000,2004 ,2006to 2008,2010,2012;

output;

end;

fyear=2014;output;

fyear=2020;output;

run;

proc sql noprint;

select distinct cats('yr',fyear) into : list separated by ' ' from x;

quit;

data x;

set x;

array _y &list ;

do over _y;

  _y=ifn(fyear=compress(vname(_y),,'kd'), 1,0);

end;

run;

Hi Ksharp:

I am not sure why there are only 20 observations generated from this program,

data x;

do fyear=2001 to 2011;

output;

end;

run;

data x;

set x;

array _y{*} yr2001-yr2011 ;

do i=1 to dim(_y);

  _y{i}=0;

end;

_y{fyear-2000}=1;

drop i;

run;

Here is the log:

Hi. mei

I don't find any problem in my code. Here is the LOG.

1    data x;

2    do fyear=2001 to 2011;

3    output;

4    end;

5    run;

NOTE: The data set WORK.X has 11 observations and 1 variables.

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

      real time           0.45 seconds

      cpu time            0.03 seconds

6    data x;

7    set x;

8    array _y{*} yr2001-yr2011 ;

9    do i=1 to dim(_y);

10     _y{i}=0;

11   end;

12   _y{fyear-2000}=1;

13   drop i;

14   run;

NOTE: There were 11 observations read from the data set WORK.X.

NOTE: The data set WORK.X has 11 observations and 12 variables.

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

      real time           0.15 seconds

      cpu time            0.02 seconds

Or you could try my second code or HaiKuo's code  which is more general .

Thanks, sorry to mention that my original program codes are applying to spi.spi3 file that have 64602 observations for the year dummies to be created.

data fyear.spi;

   set spi.spi3;

    array _y{*} yr2001-yr2011 ;

    do i=1 to dim(_y);

     _y{i}=0;

    end;

    _y{fyear-2000}=1;

    drop i;

   run;

anyway, i have used your second code and hai kuo's code, that is marvellous!! however, i m not sure with the progtransreg codes.

Thanks
