The PANEL Procedure

PROC PANEL Statement

Global Plot Options
Specific Plot Options

PROC PANEL options ;

The following options can be specified on the PROC PANEL statement.

DATA=SAS-data-set: names the input data set. The input data set must be sorted by cross section and by time period within cross section. If you omit the DATA= option, the most recently created SAS data set is used.
OUTEST=SAS-data-set: names an output data set to contain the parameter estimates. When the OUTEST= option is not specified, the OUTEST= data set is not created. See the section OUTEST= Data Set for details about the structure of the OUTEST= data set.
OUTTRANS=SAS-data-set: names an output data set to contain the transformed series for further analysis and computation of models with time observations greater than two. See the section OUTTRANS= Data Set for details about the structure of the OUTTRANS= data set.
OUTCOV COVOUT: writes the standard errors and covariance matrix of the parameter estimates to the OUTEST= data set. See the section OUTEST= Data Set for details.
OUTCORR CORROUT: writes the correlation matrix of the parameter estimates to the OUTEST= data set. See the section OUTEST= Data Set for details.
PLOTS < (global-plot-options < (NCROSS=value) > ) > < = (specific-plot-options) >: selects plots to be produced via the Output Delivery System. For general information about ODS Graphics, see Chapter 21: Statistical Graphics Using ODS in SAS/STAT 12.1 User's Guide. The global-plot-options apply to all relevant plots generated by the PANEL procedure.

Global Plot Options

The following global-plot-options are supported:

ONLY: suppresses the default plots. Only the plots specifically requested are produced.
UNPACKPANEL UNPACK: displays each graph separately. (By default, some graphs can appear together in a single panel.)
NCROSS=value: specifies the number of cross sections to be combined into one time series plot.

Specific Plot Options

The following specific-plot-options are supported:

ACTSURFACE: produces a surface plot of actual values.
ALL: produces all appropriate plots.
FITPLOT: plots the predicted and actual values.
NONE: suppresses all plots.
PREDSURFACE: produces a surface plot of predicted values.
QQ: produces a QQ plot of residuals.
RESIDSTACK | RESSTACK: produces a stacked plot of residuals.
RESIDSURFACE: produces a surface plot of residual values.
RESIDUAL | RES: plots the residuals.
RESIDUALHISTOGRAM | RESIDHISTOGRAM: plots the histogram of residuals.

For more details, see the section Creating ODS Graphics.

In addition, any of the following MODEL statement options can be specified in the PROC PANEL statement: CORRB, COVB, FIXONE, FIXONETIME, FIXTWO, BTWNG, BTWNT, POOLED, RANONE, RANTWO, FULLER, PARKS, DASILVA, NOINT, NOPRINT, PRINTFIXED, M=, PHI, RHO, VCOMP=, and SINGULAR=. When specified in the PROC PANEL statement, these options are equivalent to specifying the options for every MODEL statement. See the section MODEL Statement for a complete description of each of these options.
