Hi

 

I have a dataset with 55 columns. I want to determine which of the columns can be used to determine the likely value of column A, they are a mix of character and numeric fields.

 

I am not sure which method to select/statistic to use. I have tried PROC CORR but this errors due to field type.

 

Any advice with this would be great.

 

Thanks

Check PROC PLS, in its documentation, there is an example about variable's importance.

Or Check PROC HPGENSELECT,pick up the variable has the smallest P-value or the largest absolution parameter value.
