I am getting the following error/warning when Proc PSMatch used on SAS9.4 TS Level 1M4, 64bits Windows 7Pro Platform. Basic model summary is: Used Greedy K=2 match with caliper = .10 LPS (logit of PS) used with 'no exact' option and 'no weight' option Independent variables are either categorical or nominal No continuous variable used Event/Cases: N= ~42,000 Warning from SAS Log: WARNING: The maximum likelihood estimates for the logistic regression model might not exist. The maximum likelihood estimates are based on the last maximum likelihood iteration. ERROR: Floating Point Zero Divide ERROR: Termination due to Floating Point Exception Total N = 1,289,000 (rounded). Looks like main issue is 'Number of Observations' used in a model. As I tested with less observations, it worked. Details below: *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Same code works without any issues or warning when Total N = 915,000 *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------; When sample size incrased to, i.e. N=1,040,000 with same set of codes, the following warning sign appears but still produces result: WARNING: The maximum likelihood estimates for the logistic regression model might not exist. The maximum likelihood estimates are based on the last maximum likelihood iteration. *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Again increased sample size to: N=1,164,000, it is still working with warning sign. WARNING: The maximum likelihood estimates for the logistic regression model might not exist. The maximum likelihood estimates are based on the last maximum likelihood iteration. *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Again increased sample size to: N=1,286,000 it is still working with warning sign. WARNING: The maximum likelihood estimates for the logistic regression model might not exist. The maximum likelihood estimates are based on the last maximum likelihood iteration. The magic number for not working the procedure is somewhat close to: 1,289,000 (rounded) but greater than 1,286,000. Not sure what to make of it. Any suggestions appriciated! Thx, APU_007
