Hello again,

Another question. Is it possible to test the differences in parameter estimates if the estimates come from the same model?

Can I just merge the estimates, then calculate the differences, and then test whether the mean is zero. For some reason I don't think a mean test of the differences is the way to go.??????? If anyone could confirm this or inform me on this it would be great.

For example I have:

proc reg data=fileA outest = in.file1995 (keep=id year); where year=1995; model y = x1 x2; run;

proc reg data=fileA outest = in.file1996 (keep=id year); where year=1996; model y = x1 x2; run;

data in.merge_master; Merge in.file1995 in.file1996; by id year; run;

data in.merge_master; set in.merge_master; diff = est1995 - est1996 run;

proc mean data = in.merge_master mean stddev median; var diff; run;

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
