Dear collegs, need help
A problem w. PHREG. are there any advice what does it mean
The last variable always gives no results. DF=0 and no other values.
The code is like
PROC PHREG data=AAA;
MODEL PHDAYS*DIH(1)=AGE SEX PCRE1 PCRE2 PCRE3 PCRE4 PCRE5 PCRE6/RL;
run;
very simple
data like

Is PCRE a categorical variable with 6 levels?
If so, then your model is overspecified and you need only 5 of the levels and the 6th is the reference level.
>Is PCRE a categorical variable with 6 levels?
Yes it is.
But it is separated in to 6 separate vars with vals 0 or 1.
>If so, then your model is overspecified and you need only 5 of the levels and the 6th is the reference level.
If I leave only 5 vars the problem is solved. You are wright.
Thanks.
Consider using the CLASS statement for situations like this; it addresses the overspecification issues for you.
