Stop re-posting this question.  It only irritates people... it does not improve 
your chances of getting help.

What does improve your chances is reading the Posting Guide and following the 
advice given there. Your question amounts to asking someone to figure out what 
theory you should apply to a problem domain... which is not really on topic 
here, though someone might recommend something to you anyway.

The better strategy would be to seek out (elsewhere) what textbook/papers you 
want to apply (SAS should suggest references if they claim to implement 
solutions) and then use Google or rseek.org to find contributed packages that 
implement some or all of the steps in that approach. You can also peruse the 
Task Views on CRAN. When you get error messages trying to apply those tools in 
R, ask here how to resolve those problems, since this list is about the 
language not your problem domain.
