topic State Fixed effects in Statistical Procedures https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/State-Fixed-effects/m-p/373393#M19537 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am running a regression model that has 12 variables, and one state variable. For the State variable (numeric), I want to create a Fixed Effect for each State. Thus, I want to include in the model 49 new variables and leave one out as the reference State. How can I create these 49 variables so that I can include them in the model, please? Each oservation should have only one indicator for State. For example, Observation 1 from NY should have all 48 variables equal 0, and equals one for the NY indicator.</P><P>I am using SAS Enterprise guide, but can write the code and run it in SAS Base.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Altijani</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 05 Jul 2017 18:10:40 GMT altijani 2017-07-05T18:10:40Z State Fixed effects https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/State-Fixed-effects/m-p/373393#M19537 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am running a regression model that has 12 variables, and one state variable.
