Hi all,
I am trying to perform pathway analysis in SAS using TCALIS procedure, and I have two questions,
1) Some of my exogenous variables are categorical rather than continuous. Should I specify a variance for them in the model? I use PATH language to specify the model for this analysis, do I need to change that to accomodate categorical IV's?
2) If I am going to include categorical DV's, I should apply generalized SEM.to the model. Could anybody tell me if it could be done by TCALIS and how?
Many thanks for your help!
