Hi everyone I'm new to SAS so my question may be quite basic:

 

I have a blood test result (y) that follows the following relationship with a drug concentration (x):

Y = B0 + B1*X**0.5

 

As I understand this is a linear relationship for the parameters (https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_nlin_sect00...) so the regression should be done using a linear regression model.

 

I have used proc reg but with linear Y functions.

 

As I understand the code for the linear regression is: 

  proc reg data=dataser;
      var X**0.5;
      model Y=X;
   run;

 Is that correct?

 

If I have the data of two groups (patients vs control) how can I compare the regression coefficients for both groups?

 

Thanks for your help

proc glm data=dataser;
      class group;
      model Y=group x x*group;
quit;

If the variable group is not statistically significant when you perform this regression, then the intercepts of the two groups are not significantly different. If the interaction x*group is not statistically significant when you perform this regression, then the slopes of the two groups are not significantly different.

Add one more data step to get 

data dataser;
set dataser;
X=sqrt(X);
run;
proc reg data=dataser; model Y=X; quit;

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.
