Forgive me if a dumb question:
Can you penalize (L1 or L2 penalty) a subset of predictors in any SAS procedures?
I'm looking at:
2 categorical variables
1 group of non-mutually exclusive dummy variables (list of a few hundred medical conditions)
Can I penalize the latter group of dummy variables without penalizing the categorical variables?
NLMIXED is a procedure that can fit a wide variety of model and can be used to apply penalization including L1 (LASSO), L2 or a combination (elastic net) regularization. See this note which discusses and illustrates this. In particular, see Example 4 which shows how a subset of the model parameters can be penalized.

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
