The VARMAX Procedure

NLOPTIONS Statement

  • NLOPTIONS options;

The VARMAX procedure uses the nonlinear optimization (NLO) subsystem to perform nonlinear optimization tasks. For a list of all the options in the NLOPTIONS statement, see ChapterĀ 7: Nonlinear Optimization Methods.

An example of the NLOPTIONS statement is as follows:

proc varmax data=one;
   nloptions tech=qn maxit=1000 pall;
   model y1 y2 / p=2;
run;

By default, the VARMAX procedure uses the dual quasi-Newton optimization method.
