SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 42840: Predicted values, forecasts and residual-based statistics of fit are all missing when data has large variance
 |  |  |  |  |
When the variable being modeled in PROC UCM has large variance, the kalman filter algorithm may fail. In this case, the OUTFOR= data set has missing values for the FORECAST and RESIDUAL variables for all observations, and the following note is printed in the listing file immediately after the Likelihood Based Fit Statistics table:
NOTE: For this model the collapse of the diffuse Kalman filter has
not occurred within the data span. In this case the one step
ahead forecasts and corresponding fit statistics are set to
missing.
Rescaling the data to reduce the variance in the response variable may circumvent the problem and allow the one-step-ahead predicted values, residuals and future-period forecasts to be computed.
