Actually, I did a regression just recently from another, similar, dataset. Both the response and the predictors are almost the same as in the one we have discussed above. I increased the R2 from 0.18 (using Box-Cox transformation of the response (lambda -1)), to 0,51.
In the Box-Cox regression, all diagnostics has been done (Reset-test, outliers-robustness/proc robustreg, multicollinearity, normal residuals, robust s.e. etc.). I only have in mind to look for endogeneity problems. So I feel OK with the Box-Cox model, that is,
I feel it meets the assumptions of linear regression OK. However, if using mspline/spline can increase the explanatory power on, already tested, variables, it is tempting to present those results as well.
But I am not sure how good it is to use this new information about monotone spline/spline, because I am afraid I am overfitting the model. What do you think?
I must add, I am quite new to regression modelling on this level, and unfortunately, is the only one on my job that know how to do it. So I really appreciate all your feed-back and help!
Have a nice weekend
Best regards,

The code is shown below:
proc transreg data=hem_reg2_2 solve test nomiss plots=all;
ods exclude where=(_path_ ? 'MV');
model mspline(response/ nknots=2) = identity(x1_dummy) spline(x2 x3 x4 x5 / nknots=2);
run;
I have reduced the nknots=2, just to reduce the possibility of overfitting the model.
For each unit change in the x variable, the transformed Y variable decreases by -0.01068. ( Assuming other independent variable not change )
OP,You can refer to Logic model 's Odds Ratio

Even though the answer is already posted, thanks a lot. Do you have any ideas to my questions in the second post in this thread?
