CNTSELECT Procedure
PROC CNTSELECT Compared with Other SAS Procedures
The CNTSELECT procedure provides count-data modeling functionality comparable to that of the HPCOUNTREG and COUNTREG procedures in SAS/ETS software.
PROC CNTSELECT Compared with the HPCOUNTREG Procedure
The functionality of the CNTSELECT procedure closely resembles that of the HPCOUNTREG procedure, which is a high-performance procedure. The CNTSELECT procedure is the next generation of the HPCOUNTREG procedure, and it was developed specifically for SAS Viya. Both procedures are capable of running on a cluster of machines that distribute the data and the computations. Both procedures perform computations in multiple threads on multiple machines.
The CNTSELECT procedure provides all the functionality of the HPCOUNTREG procedure and also provides Bayesian estimation techniques.
PROC CNTSELECT Compared with the COUNTREG Procedure
This release of the CNTSELECT procedure contains some, but not all, of the functionality present in the COUNTREG procedure. The COUNTREG procedure provides the following features, which are not present in the CNTSELECT procedure:
spatial effect models
scoring by using an item store
