How to modify 'proc glm' in sas to find estimates per 10 units or per SD unit change of the exposure

ph6 — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 17:20:28 GMT

I am using proc glm in SAS to find the estimates per unit change of exposure for the response variables. How could I modify my code so that it would calculate the estimates per 10 units or per SD change of the exposure variables? Here is my code:

 PROC GLM DATA=MyData PLOTS=NONE;
        CLASS &ClassAdj;
        MODEL &TraitList = &PVar &ClassAdj &ContAdj / SOLUTION E;
        %IF &ByVars ^= %THEN BY &ByVars;;
    QUIT;

Per 10 Units:

You don't have to modify your code, you can just multiply the regression coefficients by 10.

Per 1 SD unit change

As above, you just need to multiply the regression coefficients by the proper number.

Or you could modify the input data, but that isn't what you asked.

Thank you so much. For the SD do you have any thoughts how could modify the data?

You can change the input data by standardizing it so each continuous variable has a standard deviation of 1.

Use PROC STDIZE with METHOD=STD

You can also consider using the ESTIMATE statement in PROC GLM to estimate what you wanted. For example, if the model is --

model y=x1 x2 x3;

then estimate 'change in y for 10 units change in x1' x1 10;

estimate ' change in y for sd=3.4 units change in x1' x1 3.4;

might get what you wanted.

Thank you, what if I have logistic regression?

You would use PROC LOGISTIC to fit your model with similar ESTIMATE statements to get what you wanted. The results are in the logit scale.

Logistic regression check UNITS Statement.

Would it be OK to divide x by 10, and standardize the SDs before running the model?

No. That is not OK. Logistic model have different LINK function .
