adjusted mean HELP

deleted_user — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:13:47 GMT

Hi, i'm new to SAS and i could use some help for a problem.
I'm working on a sample of 2,500 subjects and I'd like to calculate
the mean of a variable X for my entire sample, adjusted for age,sex and another variable Y (knowing that age and Y are considered continuous).Is it possible to do such thing in SAS? I know how to obtain adjusted means with proc glm but across the categories of a categorical variable like:
proc glm data=table;
class x1;
model X=x1 x2 x3;
lsmeans x1;run;

My problem is to do the same but without having so called categorical variable...

Thanks a lot!!

Suggest you have a look at the SAS support website http://support.sas.com/ and use the SEARCH facility, or consider using Google advanced search with the argument (site parameter in lowercase limits search to the SAS.COM site):

Thanks Scott for your answer.
However I didn't find anything relevant. Everything is related to the obtention of adjusted means across categorical variables...
I'll keep looking.

You have to set values for x1, x2, and my favorite, x3, and then generate a predicted value for X. Otherwise, your problem statement seems meaningless to me.
