If an H.VAR equation is used to model the variance, and a zero-mean model is fit to the dependent variable, then PROC MODEL incorrectly returns the error:
ERROR: No parameters to estimate
and only the Model Summary table is produced by the procedure.
In other words, you cannot specify:
y = 0;
h.y = <expression for variance model>
There is no circumvention for this problem. You must include a parameter for the intercept term in the model for the dependent variable, such as:
y = mu;
h.y = <expression for variance model>
