The HPPANEL Procedure

The HPPANEL procedure is similar to other regression procedures in SAS. Suppose you want to regress the variable Y on regressors X1 and X2. Cross sections are identified by the variable State, and time periods are identified by the variable Date. Unlike the PANEL procedure, the HPPANEL procedure does not require the data set to be sorted. To invoke the HPPANEL procedure, you must specify the cross section and time series variables in an ID statement. The following statements shows the correct syntax:

   proc hppanel data=a;
      id state date;
      model y = x1 x2;
      performance nodes=2 nthreads=4;
   run;
