Dears,
This is the first time I'm posting and not sure how to raise my question. However, I am asked to run analysis for a dataset and come up with results and since I am very new to sas, I do not really know how to do it. Here are the questions:
1- Run a Descriptive analysis on all relevant variables. What is the average absenteeism (AbsentHours) per department and per location? What are the effects of age and length of service on absenteeism? Does gender explain any differences in absenteeism?
2- Run scale diagnostics (reliability analyses) for the measures in the dataset. Create the appropriate scales based on the results from the previous point. Is there any reason to worry about discrimination? Think of two chi-square analyses that you would run, and explain your choices.
May you please guide me what codes should I write to get the aforesaid results?
Thank you,
The phrasing of these questions makes me think that they are homework or exam questions. I would recommend coming up with possible statistical methods for answering these questions and then searching the documentation for PROCs that could be used to implement those methods. If the documentation is insufficient for your needs, then use Google to search sites like StackExchange, LexJansen, and github for similar questions and how folks have addressed them.

In your class, did you learn about PROC MEANS? If so, that might be useful for the first part of #1.
Did you learn about PROC GLM? If so, that might be useful for the second part of #1.
I don't know what "scale diagnostics" are, but look at your notes.
Great! thanks.
