SAS Macros and Functions

Results

The value of {\lambda} producing the maximum log likelihood is returned in the macro variable &BOXCOXAR. The value of the variable &BOXCOXAR is "ERROR" if the %BOXCOXAR macro is unable to compute the best transformation due to errors. This may be the result of large lambda values. The Box-Cox transformation parameter involves exponentiation of the data, so that large lambda values may cause floating-point overflow.

Results are printed unless the PRINT=NO option is specified. Results are also stored in SAS data sets when the OUT= option is specified.
