This SAS program is the macro to obtain one-step estimator using SCAD penalty that was suggested by Zou and Li (2008) using SAS v9.4. The program include 4 macros as follows. The macro "ose_scad" returns one-step estimator that was suggested by Zou and Li (2008). The macro "lasso_shot" returns LASSO estimator using shooting algorithm that was suggested by Fu (1998). The macros "diff" and "cv"returns the value of K folds cross validation (CV) for estimated coefficients. The macro "optlam" searchs the optimal smoothing parameter based on K folds CV and return the optimal one-step estimates.

Example for usage of macro: %optlam(dat, y, col1 - col12, 0.1, 1, 30);

Here, dat is the name of dataset, y is the name of response variable, col1 - col12 are the names of predict variables. 0.1, 1 and 30 in %optlam macro means the min of smoothing parameter, max of smoothing parameter for grid search and the length of grid of smoothing parameter respectively. Implementing the macro %optlam, you could get 3 datasets optcoef, optlambda and seqcoef. The dataset optcoef is estimated coefficient, the dataset seqcoef and optlambda show the tarnsitions of coefficients and values of K folds CV when lambda is increased, respectively.
