PROC CATMOD

PROC CATMOD provides a wide variety of categorical data analyses.
Now that PROC LOGISITIC handles classification variables, there is less of a need to use PROC CATMOD for regression.
PROC CATMOD should not be used when a continuous input variable has many distinct values.

PROC ANOVA

Each treatment should have exactly the same number of observations; every categorical outcome has the same number of observations.
Caution: If you use PROC ANOVA for analysis of unbalanced data, you must assume responsibility for the validity of the results.
Use PROC GLM instead. 

Regression Example


Residuals

The studentized residual, the RSTUDENT statistic, is similar to the the standardized residual except that the mean square error is calculated omitting the observation.
Observations with studentized residual absolute values of greater than 2 are potential outliers.

SAS - PROC REG

Inputs and output are interval
Ordinal data may be included
Assumptions on e
 Normally distributed
 e has mean zero and constant variance
 Is independent
Residual analysis should be a routine part of the analysis

SAS - Gplot – further example

The following example shows more flexibility of the procedure

goptions reset=all;
proc gplot data=sashelp.Class;
symbol1 color = green i = join v= diamond line = 1 w=2 h=2;
symbol2 color = red i= join v= star line = 2 w=2 h=2;
plot Height*Weight=Sex/ hminor=0 legend=legend1;
legend1 down=1 position=(top center inside)
cshadow = blue frame value = (f=duplex)
ACROSS =1
label=(font=duplex h=1.5);
title f= zapf color=blue h =5pct 'Testing the graph';
run;
