So I'm fairly new to both logistic regression and SAS, so I was a bit stumped when ran a proc logistic and found a significant 2-way interation. The variables in question are "age" (continuous) x "treatment" (dichotomous). Anyone have any suggestions as to what my next step would be in SAS in order to evaluate this interaction?
Not sure what your question is:
- Were you not expecting any interaction but there turned out to be? (Why surprised?)
- Are you wanting to understand the strength of the interaction in relation to other factors? (Start with looking at standardized estimates)
In analytics, finding the unexpected sometimes is a good thing. It's a discovery of new knowledge.
Interactions in this case were entirely possible. My question was more about what post-hoc analyses I might employ using SAS in order to understand the nature of this particular interaction. Thanks for the replies btw.
Have you looked at the odds ratio with the oddsratio statement?

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.
