Please follow the instructions for posting questions. Supply example data in a usable form (see my footnotes), the expected result, and the code you already tried.

I see that you have been advised about posting meaningful questions TWICE in your previous posts. Are you allergic to learning?

Hi
I'm completly new to SAS .kindly bear with me !
so here is my question..how can i predict a value of a particular variable based on another variable value.
for instace : i have a dataset with variables risk, age and it has values as follows:
12 57
24 67
13 58
56 86
28 59
so on..

So now i need to predict the value of the risk if age increases by 10 years or i can say
'By how much does the risk increase if age increases by ten years?'

any help is highly appreciated.Thank you !!

What you probably need is the average risk per age:

proc sql;
create table avg_risk as
select age, avg(risk)
from risks
group by age;
quit;

Now it is easy to compare relative risks by age.

But stil I’m confused about this
Here’s my question ... how much does the RISK increase if the AGE increases by 10 years?
Ex-
Risk Age
12 57

Data smoking;
Set sasclass.smoking;
Risk_R=67*12/57;
Run;
Proc print data=smoking;
Run;

The value of RISK is 14.1 for the age 67(57+10)

To answer this question, you need a statistically sufficient sample for ages 57 and 67.

Thanks, @Kurt_Bremser.

I think this credit goes to you, as @urap considered as accepted solution. @urap , is it possible for you to take that off, please?
