| The ORTHOREG Procedure |
| Longley Data |
The labor statistics data set of Longley (1967) is noted for being ill conditioned. Both the ORTHOREG and GLM procedures are applied for comparison (only portions of the PROC GLM results are shown). Note:The results from this example vary from machine to machine, depending on floating-point configuration.
The following statements read the data into the SAS data set Longley:

The data set contains one dependent variable, Employment (total derived employment), and six independent variables: Prices (GNP implicit price deflator with year 1954 = 100), GNP (gross national product), Jobless (unemployment), Military (size of armed forces), PopSize (noninstitutional population aged 14 and over), and Year (year).
The following statements use the ORTHOREG procedure to model the Longley data by using a quadratic model in each independent variable, without interaction:
proc orthoreg data=Longley;
model Employment = Prices Prices*Prices
GNP GNP*GNP
Jobless Jobless*Jobless
Military Military*Military
PopSize PopSize*PopSize
Year Year*Year;
run;
Figure 63.1 shows the resulting analysis.

The estimates in Figure 63.1 compare very well with the best estimates available; for additional information, refer to Longley (1967) and Beaton, Rubin, and Barone (1976).
The following statements request the same analysis from the GLM procedure:
proc glm data=Longley;
model Employment = Prices Prices*Prices
GNP GNP*GNP
Jobless Jobless*Jobless
Military Military*Military

Notes;

Figure 63.2 contains the overall ANOVA table and the parameter estimates produced by PROC GLM. Notice that the PROC ORTHOREG fit achieves a somewhat smaller root mean square error (RMSE) and also that the GLM procedure detects spurious singularities.
