I am doing a logistic regression across a class variable "state", and the parameter always set the last state, for example, "WY"'s value as 0. I want my sample average parameters across all state to be 0. That means no state's final parameter is 0, but their average is 0. Is there a way to do it? Thanks.
You can use the PARAM= keyword on the CLASS statement to set the parameterization for the classification variables. Here are all the parameterizations: SAS/STAT(R) 13.1 User's Guide By default, PROC LOGISTIC uses PARAM=EFFECT. Parameter estimates for the effect coding scheme "estimate the difference in the effect of each nonreference level compared to the average effect over all levels." I am a little confused because it sounds like that is what you want, right? A comparison to the average?
Questions like this are best asked in the Statistical Procedures Community. Some of the experts there (like or ) would be able to give a more definitive answer.
I don't think you want the average parameters to be 0. I think you want param=effect or param=ref.

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.
