Dependent variable proportions

Dianac — Tue, 02 May 2017 09:40:43 GMT

Hello,

I have dependent variable ==> proportions that go from 0 to 100.

Can I use OLS regression? or do I need to use PROC Glimmix procedure?

If I have to Glimmix procedure.. could you give me a simple example how to use it with several independent variables?

Thank you in advance

Do you have correlations in your data?

Use proc glimmix or proc genmod.

This is an example from the SAS documentation of a fairly simple PROC GLIMMIX example modelling a proportion with two independent variables

Hello,

Yes, I do. I have correlations in my data.

Then use proc glimmix as in the example.
