Hi,

 

Why covariance? What are trying to study based this?

From my literature review, I need to adjust the coeficient of a logistics regression which requires the calcilation of covariance between 2 variables. In my case both a binary. Since my data are survey data, I need to use proc surveyreg but couldn't figure out the way to calculate the covariance with proc surveyfreq. Hope that helps.

If I was right, I remember PROC DISTANCE can do this.

Thank you for helping. I think  Proc Distance are for random sampling data since it doesn't provide the options for variance estimate such as BRR method in other proc survey
