I'm trying to use an equation that involves combination calculations (the COMB function in SAS). The equation results in very large numbers, but in the end the value is between 0 and 1. SAS can't handle large values within the COMB function so I keep receiving errors. For example, COMB(1045,600) is acceptable, but SAS doesn't like COMB(1046,600) since I assume it is too large. Anyone know a way to get around this? The equation I'm using is: COMB(k,i)*COMB(N-k,n-i)/COMB(N,n) Where k = 1044, i = 600, N = 1046, n = 600 Thanks
