I wanted to know what's the best procedure in the Enterprise Guide to build a hedonic regression. I need one that includes dummy variables, charecters and numeric variables. If you have an example, that would be brilliant Thanks in advance Dana hi

Hey, maybe I should stage a "shootout" at SAS Global Forum. SAS EG versus SAS programmers, which is fastest? BTW- I have already informally done this working with an author of other SAS books, they gave me estimates of time for them to solve their programming examples in their own books and I met or beat their time on each example. EG is definitely not for macro creation, complex merging, or intricate data step manipulation; but I find it more than capable in 80-90% of scenarios where I would have traditionally written SAS code. Cheers! Thanks for the kind words.
