Hi, so I recently got given a dataset as well as a research question, stating "which skills would be good predictors of the variable of interest." I am a university student, who is new to SAS, so my knowledge is very limited, so excuse any confusing wording, I am currently just trying to understand everything that would be required from me. I understand I will have to use of the variables and setup various hypothesis to evaluate whether some of the variables have correlation towards predicting the variable of interest. To my understanding the variable of interest will be the independent variable, and I will have to make use of several proc reg or proc corr statements to yield descriptive statistics which I would be able to evaluate. How will I go about solving this problem, how will I set up hypothesis? Till thus far I could only think of "if X has a higher percent, it would lead to significant difference in the variable of interest" which seems wrong to me. How will I know which tests to run, and how to interpret the results? Please correct me at any place where I have misunderstood or misinterpreted the situation. Thank you in advance to anybody willing to help, I really appreciate it. Regards.
