Using PROC FCMP Functions with %SYSFUNC
P.S. - I also wrote an xSubstr macro to eliminate the need for using my xSubstr fuction via %sysfunc, but xIndexc (similar to indexc, except that it ignores quoted and parenthesized values and also handles negative start values and counts) is not so easily replaced... And of course all of this came up in some pro... 9 Mar 2010 15:47

SAS nlmixed for count data with random effect
Hi, I am trying to estimate a very simple model with a small twist. Counts are distributed by Poisson arrival rate, along with a normal distribution. proc nlmixed data=countdata; parms logsig 0 alpha1 1 beta1 1; eta = (alpha1 + beta1*lnW)+ e; lambda = exp(eta); model count ~ poisson(la... 9 Mar 2010 15:47

perl REGEX -- What does it mean that regexes are greedy? How
Adding the ? behind * quanitfier makes it lazy or reluctant instead of greedy. While this is a quick fix to the greedy quantifier problem it doesnt make it the best solution as it does not solve the fact that you are still requiring the regex to backtrack. Which in the example below isnt a big issue but in a larg... 9 Mar 2010 12:19
