The instructions for download are on the link I provided. EG, itself, is a licensed product. So, unless your employer/school already has it, you will need to pay a (substantial) annual license fee to SAS for the SAS Foundation and EG. ... View more

You could certainly use if tor time until default on a loan or time until first late payment on a credit card. Basically, survival analysis is 'time until failure' analysis.  It is up to you to decide what a 'failure' is. ... View more

You've got some sort of length setting that is different between the two versions.  Each version has its own configuration files and I bet they are different.  The easiest way to find the difference might be to run PROC OPTIONS; in each.  The LRECL default in PROC IMPORT; may be different. ...

It appears that "0" is not a valid score.  So the first step is to change all the "0" values to missings. Then you can do the first and third with the N function, as all=(N(of jan--apr)=4); two=(N(of jan--apr)=2); The second follows as first=((jan>.) & (N(of jan-apr)=1))); The last one will require some if-the-else logic or a Perl expression.  My Perl is too rusty to provide useful thoughts. ...

Since the lot was rejected (and therefore you know WHY the data are missing), you could remove it from your data stream [e.g. DATA=xxx(WHERE=(assay>.)) ].  I am a bit concerned about the suggestion to impute some sort of a 'mean' (the mean of before and after is a variation on 'last observation carried forward').  There is a substantial literature about the potential biases that might cause due to the hidden assumptions involved.  ...

Shelley, The "top 10" is excellent and a quick read.  We have a lot of students here for whom English is a second language.  This monograph will help our instructors on clarity. Thanks, Doc ... View more

The covariates are selected based on the science of the problem.  The covariate is expected to be continuous* and it's relationship to the dependent variable is assumed to be linear. *by the Central Limit Theorem, a binary (0/1 coded) covariate meets the criteria if the sample size is sufficient.  For 'how big is big enough', you need to reference some of the linear models textbooks. ...

I suspect that you neglected to uninstall EG 4.1 before installing 7.1.  Windows may be confused about the file associations for display. If you are opening EG 7.1 and then opening the project file, it will be a 7.1 file with the wrong icon.  If you double-click on a project file, windows may attempt to open it with the (still installed) EG 4.1. You "may" be able to clean it up with the "SAS Deployment Manager 9.4".  If you unistall both 4.1 and 7.1 and re-install the 7.1 version, that should fix it. If neither of them work, you still have the 'nuclear option' -- have IT re-image your PC and install EG 7.1 from scratch.  That is guaranteed to work.  For me, the negative side effect is that it takes about 3 days to get all my accumulated customizations installed (stuff like Word defaults etc.). ...

Without more detail to your query, it is had to do much more than point you to the proper procedure and tell you to read the documentation. ANCOVA is a special case of the General Linear Model.  If straightforward, I might first approach it using PROC GLM.  If you do a Google search for ancova site:sas.com you will find a number of relevant hits that your data might fit into. If your transaction data has repeats within customer then you might be in the area of mixed models.  The Google search I mentioned also includes some references to those. ... View more
