If your dependent variable is a continuous variable but is bounded between 0 and 100, what type of regression analysis would work best?
Assuming that your dependent variable is a percentage, you should consider transforming it for doing regression. Good documentation on this topic is given in SAS/IML doc :
arcsin(sqrt(y)) (where y is between 0 and 1) is the preferred transformation when the denominators of the proportions are within the same order of magnitude.
Thanks! The depdenent variable is not a percentage, it's a ranking (0 is lowest, 100 is highest and have values all throughout).
But I assume I could divide all variable by 100 and use that technique?
I could try GAMMA distribution. Check the example of GENMOD. Example 44.3: Gamma Distribution Applied to Life Data

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.
