I want to write a code to create a regression model. the outcome is continuous, but the independent variable is categorical.
I tried this code:
proc reg;model cognitive = race;run;
but it is considering race as a continuous variable.
how can I tell SAS that race is categorical?
I have 2 races
Use GLM instead:
proc glm;
class race;model cognitive = race;run;
Use proc glm and define race as a class variable. BTW, that particular form of regression is called Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
