Hi chaps,

I am running an analysis of multiple linear regression using PROC GLM, with the dataset mainly consisting of categorcial variables.

Do you know that if PROC GLM has the effects coding (-1, 0, 1) for the design matrix. As compared to the dummy coding (0, 1), the effects coding offers the advantage of comparing between each category and the grand mean.

Thanks in advance.

For everything about effect coding in SAS, see http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63962/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_introcom_a00...

GLM doesn't have the coding you want, but GENMOD does, and can do GLM-type models.

Or you can use the OUTDESIGNONLY OUTDESIGN= option in PROC LOGISTIC to output dummy variables for the explanatory variables, and this use those dummy variables in GLM. (Use anything for the response variable, like a constant vector.)
