SAS/ETS high-performance procedures provide econometric modeling tools that have been specially developed to take advantage of parallel processing in both multithreaded single-machine mode and distributed multiple-machine mode. Econometric modeling methods include regression for count data, models for the severity of losses or other events, and regression models for qualitative and limited dependent variables.
In addition to the high-performance econometric procedures described in this book, SAS/ETS includes high-performance utility procedures, which are described in Base SAS Procedures Guide: High-Performance Procedures. You can run all these procedures in single-machine mode without licensing SAS High-Performance Econometrics. However, to run these procedures in distributed mode, you must license SAS High-Performance Econometrics.
