How I can run the equation to determine the difference between two slopes in SAS?
t = (b1 - b2) / SQRT(s^2b1 + s^2b2), df = n1 + n2 -4
b = slope ; s = standard error ; df = degree of freedom and n = sample size
Thanks in advance,

This is equivalent to testing if the two slopes are equal. To do that, in a regression sense, you fit an interaction, and if the interaction is not statistically significant, then the two slopes are not statistically different.
For example, if the class variable ID contains values 1 and 2, and this is used to produce two slopes
proc glm data=have;
class id;
model y = id x id*x;
run;
quit;
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
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.
