Latent Class Analysis - SAS Studio

yhwang — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 19:07:00 GMT

Hi Community,

I'm trying to do latent class analysis using PROC LCA. I'm a Mac user so I've been using SAS On Demand (SAS Studio). It seems that PROC LCA doesn't exist on this platform? I keep getting an error message:

ERROR: Procedure LCA not found.

Did you have the same issue? Any suggestions? Thanks!

A quick search for: SAS "Proc LCA"

finds several papers one, https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/sas/dae/latent-class-analysis/

has this line: Note: This example is done in PROC LCA 1.3.2. PROC LCA is developed for SAS version 9.4 for Windows by the Methodology Center at Penn State. It can be downloaded from their website.

The Proc is not a SAS supplied or written procedure and hence is not part of SAS On Demand.
