I need your help with proc surveyreg and estimate

[liiiiiiiib]

I am a student and keep getting an error when setting up estimate statements. I'm trying to build a model for the association between gender(riegendr) and ComCat. Below is the log, and I keep getting this error message "Effects used in the ESTIMATE statement must have appeared previously in the MODEL statement." I don't understand why I keep getting this - the variables 'comcat' and 'riagendr' are in the model statement. In addition, I want to output a table by "ods OUTPUT estimates=ageadj_prev2a;", but it doesnt work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong/can help me out?  Thanks!

Add variable agegroup and interaction riagendr*agegroup to the MODEL statement (after riagendr) and the error message should go away. In addition, categorical variable agegroup needs to be listed in the CLASS statement.

The ODS OUTPUT statement requires one of the ODS Table Names on the left side of the equals sign. (The list of ODS table names is typically found in the "Details" section of the procedure documentation.) You probably mean parameterestimates, as there is no table estimates.

If you have further questions about PROC SURVEYREG, in particular regarding statistical aspects like the interpretation of results, I'd recommend that you open a new thread in the subforum Statistical Procedures.
