Why couldn't some other method work here? What is it exactly that you wish this analysis to do? And I don't see how using Principal Components helps when the MBR method doesn't fit.</P> Mon, 23 Sep 2019 23:23:09 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/How-to-use-Princomp-to-generate-variables-for-the-MBR-node-in/m-p/591059#M7996 PaigeMiller 2019-09-23T23:23:09Z
