I would like to obtain a prediction equation using linear regression for some data that I have collected. I have read in some stats books that linear regression has 4 assumptions, 2 of them being that 1) data is normally distributed and 2) constant variance. In SAS, I have run univariate analysi

I'm not sure if this will work for your experiment but have you tried respecifying the model in terms of a nested design. Using syntax you can type A(B) in the DESIGN subcommand which means A nested within B. The code example below would fit the model Y = Constant + A+ B(A) UNIANOVA Y BY A B
