Hello guys;

 

Does anybody know if we can use dummy dependent variables in the left side of model in PROC VARCOMP? I know that independent variables can't be continuous, but how about dependent variables, can they be dummy?

 

Thanks for your feedback on this.

I'm going to say NO you can't do that. VARCOMP requires (as far as I know) a continuous response variable. Nevertheless, you should check the documentation.
