SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 17517: SCALE= option may be ignored when PARAM=REF or PARAM=EFFECT is specified
 |  |  |  |  |
When the AGGREGATE= and DIST=BIN or DIST=MULT options in the MODEL statement, and the PARAM=REF or PARAM=EFFECT option in the CLASS statement are specified, then the following message appears in the log:
NOTE: The Pearson Chi-Square and deviance cannot be computed since
there is more than one profile of the explanatory variables
within the same profile of the aggregate variables. The
SCALE= option is ignored.
When all predictor variables are specified in the AGGREGATE= option, the problem can be avoided by specifying the option as AGGREGATE, rather than as AGGREGATE=( <variable list> ). In other cases, the model can be fit using PROC LOGISTIC instead of PROC GENMOD.
