PROC ANOVA

[kcvaldez98]

Hi SAS users!

I am trying to create a PROC ANOVA for my analysis and keep coming with this error: ERROR: No continuous effects allowed in PROC ANOVA.

My code is this: PROC ANOVA DATA=ANOVA;
   CLASS Quartiles;
   MODEL riskfactors_countyestimate = demo_edupctn3 demo_povpctn outcomes_adults_mental_distr;
RUN;

Quartiles is a character variable while the rest of the variables are numeric.

I am not very good at the statistical side of SAS so advice is well-appreciated!

The numeric variables are percentages of populations if that also helps!

Thank you!

I think you want a GLM, not PROC ANOVA here.

ANOVA expects the variables on the right hand side of the equal sign to be categorical.

That would make so much sense, thank you!
