My ultimate goal is to compare different-type regressions on panel data sets; some regressions have firm-specific intercepts, others are more complex. I would like to forecast with this panel regression on a hold-out sample, and produce an MSE. Is there a SAS routine that can use a previous model statement and forecast out of sample? (Note that some variables may be perfectly collinear.) It would be nice if SAS could automatically match variables from a "same type" data set, especially if there are perfectly collinear variables, which would of course disturb the coefficient estimates but not the forecast. I realize that this might be writeable with some intricate data statements. I was hoping this was common enough a request that someone had already done this for public consumption. /ivo welch
