Some of the class variables are ordinal in nature (essentially self-reported rankings of various things). I'm playing around with both Proc Genmod and Proc Adaptivereg as ways to build my model. How do I specify which ones of my class variables are ordinal? Do I have to code them in a certain way for this to be true? </P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 May 2015 17:39:59 GMT JonB_ 2015-05-17T17:39:59Z Specifying that effects are ordinal? https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Specifying-that-effects-are-ordinal/m-p/216125#M11724 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi all,</P><P></P><P>I've been asked to build a predictive model with data that includes both continuous and class variables.
