Running Counterfactuals

Hello!

I was wondering if there was an easy way to run counterfactuals in SAS; for example, my regression is:

Y = B1*SAT + B2*LCFF + B3*Funding

Using the coefficients I find for B1, B2, and B3, I'd like to recalculate values for Y to see what Y would be if LCFF = 0.

It sounds like you want to score a dataset.

Make a mock dataset that has the values you'd like the Y for, original dataset with LCFF=0.

Then use a score procedure to generate your output.

Proc Score, PLM, Code statement or Score within PROC REG.
