Tweedie CDF

[nikolasfilbert]

Hi! I would like to ask a question regarding CDF Tweedie in SAS. I read this link

http://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=ds2ref&docsetTarget=n0sqs8cpv6ucnkn1upsfmy7tm3yl.htm&docsetVe... , and I found this statement : 

y=cdf('TWEEDIE', .8, 5)

But the statement won't work in my SAS University Edition. The result is :

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

72

73 y=cdf('TWEEDIE', 0.8, 5);

_

180

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

75 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

Anyone knows why is it like this? Thanks!

CDF is a function, and is part of the proc ds2 step.

You have to write the procedure to generate this, to start with:

proc ds2;
  ...
quit;

Put your statements in where the elipses are.

I wrote it like this :

proc ds2;
y=cdf('TWEEDIE', 0.8, 5);
quit;

but there is no output, and I got this log:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

72

73 proc ds2;

74 y=cdf('TWEEDIE', 0.8, 5);

75 quit;

WARNING: Some DS2 statements have not been executed. Use the RUN; statement to execute DS2 statements before QUIT;.

NOTE: PROCEDURE DS2 used (Total process time):

real time 0.05 seconds

cpu time 0.03 seconds

Can you tell me why?

Am afraid I can't, I don't use DS2 procedure.  You need to learn how to use it, its syntax and logic.  Start with the SAS help and work from there.

@nikolasfilbert: I am not familiar with DS2, but found the following structure in the documentation:

proc ds2;
data;
  declare double y;
  method run();
    y=cdf('TWEEDIE', 0.8, 5);
  end;
enddata;

run;
quit;

It ran in SAS UE

You can run the CDF function in the DATA step. No need to use DS2.

data Tweedie;
do x = 0 to 3 by 0.05;
   y=cdf('TWEEDIE', x, 5);
   output;
end;
run;

title "CDF of the Tweedie(5) Distribution";
proc sgplot data=Tweedie;
   series x=x y=y;
run;

Thank you for your response! But if I want to input x from a column of a table, how should I write it?

[Rick_SAS]

If the SAS data set 'HAVE' contains a variable named 'X' that contains the points at which you want to evaluate the CDF, you can say

data Tweedie;
set HAVE;
y=cdf('Tweedie', X, 5);
run;
