Hi all,

I have a regression on multiple independent variables. While the output automatically gives the F statistic on all the independent variables, I would like the F statistic on a subset of independent variables that I specify. An example would be:

dependent = independent 1 + independent 2 +  independent 3 + independent 4 + independent 5

I'm interested in the F statistic on the variables independent 1 - 3. Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks.

Couldn't you just run the regression on those variables?

No, that wouldn't be what is required. As a matter of fact, in later regressions, I would need to get the F statistics on several subsets of variables. I need to include those always.

I don't know if SAS contains such an option enabling me to do so. Anyways, I went to find the statistical formula for calculating the F statistic and calculated all the components of F and got a number in the end. Hopefully this is what I want.

Have you checked the output using a contrast statement?

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
