Partial F-Test in PROC GLM

[whs278]

Hi,

I know you can do a partial F-test with PROC REG to jointly test a set of parameters.  For example,

PROC REG DATA = dataset
   MODEL y = x1 x2 x3; 
   TEST x2=x3=0;
RUN;

Which gives me output that looks like this.

I would like to know if there is a way to perform the same the test using PROC GLM.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Bill

This is not the answer

I think it is the answer.

I'm not sure how the solution below provides an answer on how to write a PROC GLM step that would jointly test a set of parameters using a partial f-test. 

------------------------------------------------------

Y = B0 + B1*Asian + B2*Black + B3*White + B4*X + B5*X*Asian + B6*X*Black + B7*X*White + e

The CLASS RACE statement creates dummy variables (Asian, Black, White) with values (1,0,0) for RACE="Asian", (0,1,0) for RACE="Black" and (0,0,1) for RACE="White". SAS will force parameters B3 and B7 to zero because they are redundant, so that the linear equations are:

Asian : Y = (B0+B1) + (B4+B5)*X

Black : Y = (B0+B2) + (B4+B6)*X

White : Y = B0 + B4*X

The F test for effect RACE*X tests the hypothesis B5=B6=B7=0 which, if true, would mean that all slopes are equal.
