Efficient way to predict a Categorical variable using continuous independant variable

[DrZenith]

Hey guys...

I have to build a model to predict a categorical information (income size) on a group of people using continuous variables like sales, units etc.. which is the best way to do it in sas?

I tried biulding a GLM, but couldn't interpret the results...any help on this?

Another method I tried was replacing the categorical information with numbers and try biulding a normal regression analysis on it, will that work?

Thanks in advance!

You have several options. Since your response variable is ordinal, read this example to see if ordinal logistic regression fits your needs:
