I was working on a HW assignment and stumbled across a problem.  I have the two ods output statements as placeholders until I know how to locate the table names. How do I find the table names and what are they given this scenario?

I will attach code, the log file and part of the assignment as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ods select anova;
proc reg data = drivingclass;
model drivingclass = Hours Score;
ods output anova=anova_table;
ods output ParameterEstimates=estimates; 
run;
 1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

Run  a  regression  model  to  test  the  relationship  between  class  hour  (independent  variable)  and 
performance score (dependent variable).   
Use ods trace statement to generate the ANOVA table and the parameter estimates outputs only from 
the regression results (Use ODS select). (You need to check the log file for the table names for 
ANOVA and parameter estimates) and then save these two tables into SAS data using the following 
commands   ods output anova=anova_table; *where anova_table is the data set name you 
created: 
ods output ParameterEstimates=estimates;

Read the instructions again to see what it states and which tables should be displayed. You know the syntax so it's figuring out the instructions/tables now.

You get no output from the PROC REG because of the error in the log

 

 94 proc reg data = drivingclass;
 95 model drivingclass = Hours Score;
 ERROR: Variable DRIVINGCLASS not found.

 

Fix that, and you should be able to get the ANOVA output.

How do I go about fixing it?

What should be the model then?

Please read the log carefully. It is saying that it cannot find a variable named DRIVINGCLASS. The model has to contain variables that are actually in the data set.

I thought hours and score was in the data set? Do I need to change the left side of the equal sign? I am just stuck as to what I should put on the left side of the equal sign.

Once again, the variable you put in the code named DRIVINGCLASS is not in the data set. Therefore, you cannot use it. 

 

I have no idea what variables are actually in the data set, so I cannot advise. You, however, can determine what variables are in the data set and determine which to use in the model. Since you have already done the PROC PRINT, you should look at that and see for yourself what variables are available, and determine where they go in the model.

The variables are Campus, Hours, and Score. However, Campus is not needed for what this question is asking for. Knowing this, what should I make the model line look like?

Here is the question that you were asked to work on:

 

"Run a regression model to test the relationship between class hour (independent variable) and performance score (dependent variable)."

I am completely lost, would it just be hours = score

PaigeMiller

You're close it would be

 

score=hours

I switched the variables around but it is still giving me this issue

It is giving you a different issue. 

 

ods select anova;
proc reg data = drivingclass;
model Hours = Score;
ods output anova= Analysis of Variance;
ods output ParameterEstimates= Parameter Estimates;
run;

 

After ods output anova= you need to have a valid SAS data set name. Analysis of Variance is not a valid SAS data set name. Do you know why it is not a valid SAS data set name?

 

After ods output ParameterEstimtes= you need to have a valid SAS data set name. Parameter Estimates is not a valid SAS data set name. 

 

Also, you still have hours and score in the wrong place.
