Chapter Chapter 12 in SAS for Epidemiologists, 2013, pp 187-195 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we consider the (possible) relationship between two continuous variables. We might, for example be interested in if blood pressure varies with weight or if the number of years of schooling is associated with cholesterol levels. The SAS syntax for examining these kinds of relationships is fairly simple and straightforward, but the interpretation demands some caution.
