I have a data set of the following figures

Acct         Loss

A           250,000

B           325,000

C           450,000

D           125,000

E           680,000

F           110,000

G           997,000

H           500,000

I'd like to produce an output set of total loss by the following distributions at the 50th, 70th, 90th, 95th and 99th percentiles: Burr, Pareto and LogNormal. 

In addition, I'd like to produce the K-S statistic, the A-D statistic and KS-Test p-values for the Burr, Pareto and LogNormal distributions (fit statistics for the distributions). 

I thought I could use PROC SEVERITY in the following manner:

proc severity data=sample_set;

model loss;

dist burr;

dist pareto;

dist logn;

run;

Unfortunately, the code is not correct.

Any suggestions on how to tackle this challenge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your syntax is a bit off. Also, take out the comma from the numbers.

data a;

input Acct $  y;

datalines;

A           250000

B           325000

C           450000

D           125000

E           680000

F           110000

G           997000

H           500000

;

proc severity data=a crit=aicc;

   loss y;

   dist _predefined_;

run;

Note: you use LOSS to specify the response variable. The keyword _PREDEFINED_ is used to request fits for all the predefined distribution models. But a warning: n=8 is really very small for this type of analysis. It will be difficult to distinguish the models with 8 data points. But the above does "work"..

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
