Introduction

SAS Econometrics procedures include predictive modeling tools that have been specially developed to take advantage of the distributed environment that SAS Viya provides. Methods include time series, compound distribution modeling, copula fitting and simulation, count data, panel data, limited dependent variables, spatial regression, economic capital modeling, hidden Markov models and severity modeling. In addition, these procedures provide many diagnostic tests, variable and model selection methods, visualization and distribution fitting comparisons that can help you to find the best model for your analysis.

Note: When you license SAS Econometrics, you also have access to SAS/ETS software. For more information about SAS/ETS procedures, see SAS/ETS User's Guide.
