Dear all
I wish to add an interaction term between 2 variables into my regression model, how do i write the codes?
Original
proc reg data=test2;
model y = x1 x2 x3
add in a new variable of which variable x1 interact with variable x4.
Thanks

If you are committed to proc reg, rather than the many other linear modeling procs, you will have to create the interaction variable in a data step. You will probably have to do something like:
data test3;
set test2;
x1_x4=x1*x4;
run;
proc reg data=test3;
model y = x1 x2 x3 x4 x1_x4;
Hope this gets at what you are trying to accomplish.
