You'll need to be more specific in your question. SAS does not have a "SAS Clinical" product, but they do have a "Data Integration" (DI Studio) and a "SAS Drug Development" product that are used in Clinical Trials. Similarly, I don't think that SAS has ever had any "real time" (as in manufacturing process control) tools. ... View more

Be sure you have the right version of Vista. I think that some features don't work on Vista Home (and it's not supported, so SAS can't really help you except to recommend upgrading Vista.). I've had students install and use SAS 9.1.3 SP 4 successfully with Vista Pro. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

One EGuide task that will do this is the BarChart task under the Graphics tab. It will allow you to set your ranges for the bars and do either count or percent for the heights. You could also group by department. It's got lots of options, so you'll probably need to use the help to get the pieces exactly the way you want them. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

Dates are the number of days from 1/1/1960. Date-Times are the number of seconds from midnight on 1/1/1960. Date1-Date2 = number of days from date2 to date 1. DateTime1-DateTime2 = number of seconds between the two. There are at least two ways to get days from datetime1 and datetime2: datepart(datetime1) - datepart(datetime2) yields the number of days (dropping off the times). (datetime1-datetime2)/(60*60*24) yields days that have a decimal component. ... View more

Because the Hosmer & Lemeshow (HL) test is a summary statistic, it can't be part of the score dataset. You have to read the score dataset and compute the HL stat manually (the formula is in the documentation). First run PROC RANK on the predicted probabilities to get the desired number of groups. Then sum the predicted probabilities in each group (that is the expected N) and count the number of events in that group (the observed N) and use the formula to compute the chi-square. The HL test doesn't have very good power, so not rejecting does not say acceptable fit. A more sensitive, but subjective, measure is to plot the mean predicted probability of the event for each group on the x-axis and the observed proportion of events on the y-axis. A good fit is a straight line. Unfortunately, you can't put a number to it like you can interpret the c-statistic as the area under the ROC, you just have to look at a lot of data....

Typically, that means that the model is over-specified. It is somewhat of an artifact of the way ANOVA reports results. Say you have a factor, SEX, with 2 levels as an explanatory variable. Then one of the two levels will have a missing value in the ANOVA table, as two levels just provide for one degree of freedom for the test. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

If you just want to move the datasets, the easiest thing is to use the FTP tool that is on your servers. If you want to manage that from SAS, you can just use the "X" command to shell out for execution. See "Using FTP to Transfer Files in Foreign Format and Transport Files across the Network" in the SAS 9.1.3 online documentation for an example. If you are working from machineC, you may need to first FTP the files to from A to C and then from C to B (depending on your rights on A or B). Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

Somehow you have made bmistatus into a character variable. Do a PROC CONTENTS to confirm. A variable of type CHAR can have numbers as it's content. Check around for quotes (' or ") and for a $ sign in a LENGTH or INPUT statement near the variable name. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

Phil, You dog. There were a couple of presentation on this topic at the SUGI in Philadelphia, maybe 3 years ago. The main disadvantage for us is that doesn't support multiple users simultaneously to work in any one project file (.EGP), even though they might be working on different Process Flows.
