Hi,
I want to calculate the customer arrival rate. A customer arrives in the store in how many minutes. For example, from our data, we may get that a customer arrives at the store in every 7 min.
if we have two columns, one for "minute" and the other for "no of the customer", what would be the SAS code? This is a Poisson distribution. Please help
Minute "Customer of customers"
5 2
10 6
7 3
6 1
4 2
9 5
11 4
2 3
8 5
So, I want to get " In every how many minutes a customer come?". This is the property of Poisson distribution. The above is just an example. The answer could be " a customer comes in every 1.5 min".
Based on the link which one would be correct
proc genmod data =have; model minute = customer / link=log dist=Poisson; run;
or the following?
proc genmod data =have; model customer = minute / link=log dist=Poisson; run;
Pleaee supply example data in usable form (data step with datalines), and what you expect to get out of it.
Look into proc genmod which has Poisson regression capabilities: https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/sas/output/poisson-regression/
Based on the link which one would be correct
proc genmod data =have; model minute = customer / link=log dist=Poisson; run;
or the following?
proc genmod data =have; model customer = minute / link=log dist=Poisson; run;
