Hi Folks:
I'm running PROC COUNTREG with spatieleffects. And I get an error below. can I ignore this warning safely? Anyone knows what this 'warning' could mean?
690 proc countreg data=t.outcome_data Wmat=Wmatrix;
691 model n_outcome = exp_variable/ dist=negbin;
692 spatialeffects exp_variable;
693 run;
WARNING: This is an experimental release of spatial lag models in COUNTREG.
NOTE: Convergence criterion (ABSGCONV=0.00001) satisfied.
NOTE: PROCEDURE COUNTREG used (Total process time):
real time 0.32 seconds
cpu time 0.01 seconds
Not an error.
The warning is basically telling you that things, such as results for the same date set or syntax, may change when the final production version is released.
Also, if you get really weird results you might want to contact SAS technical support with the data as really odd results may indicate a needed programming change in the proc.
