As part of the output from a Proc Mixed model, I am requesting that the ODS table TESTS3 be ouput. This table contains summary statistics wrt the performance of the independent variables in the model. However, when I run this module on data, I get an error that TESTS3 could not be created without an explanation, here's what SAS says, "WARNING: Output 'tests3' was not created. Make sure that the output object name, label, or path is spelled correctly. Also, verify that the appropriate procedure options are used to produce the requested output object. For example, verify that the NOPRINT option is not used."


Otherwise, the model converges and does everything else it's supposed to do. Here is my code:

 


proc mixed data=resids covtest noclprint namelen=50 METHOD=MIVQUE0;
class day month year networktype orig_acq genre net;
model LOGLIVE7RATING2=trend programtenure totallynewprogram censored
dayssincelastbroadcastrecp nads_sqrt trend*nads_sqrt
day month*year networktype ORIG_ACQ genre
/solution s ddfm=bw notest
outp=residsx(keep=net pgm trend pred live7rating loglive7rating2 where=(loglive7rating2=.));
random intercept trend/sub=net type=un g;
ods output tests3=tests;*summary stats;
run;

 

I have highlighted the offending line of code. 

 

Any ideas as to what's going on?

 

Thank you!

Just a guess, but the NOTEST option in your MODEL statement is probably supressing creation of the table.

model LOGLIVE7RATING2=trend programtenure totallynewprogram censored
dayssincelastbroadcastrecp nads_sqrt trend*nads_sqrt
day month*year networktype ORIG_ACQ genre
/solution s ddfm=bw notest
outp=residsx(keep=net pgm trend pred live7rating loglive7rating2 where=(loglive7rating2=.));

NOTEST

specifies that no hypothesis tests be performed for the fixed effects
