Calculating Summary Statistics for Numeric Variables The MEANS procedure displays simple descriptive statistics for the numeric variables in a SAS data set. General form of a simple PROC MEANS step: Example: 4 PROC MEANS DATA=SAS-data-set; RUN; PROC MEANS DATA=SAS-data-set; RUN; proc means data=mylib.crew; title 'Salary Analysis'; run;

Calculating Summary Statistics 5 Salary Analysis The MEANS Procedure Variable N Mean Std Dev Minimum Maximum ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ HireDate Salary ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ NOTE: PROC MEANS computes summary statistics for any variable we want. However, it is meaningless to compute some variables, such as Hiredate.

Calculating Summary Statistics By default, PROC MEANS – analyzes every numeric variable in the SAS data set – prints the statistics N, MEAN, STD, MIN, and MAX – excludes missing values before calculating statistics. 6

Specifying summary statistics to be computed PROC MEANS data = mylib.crew mean median range std ; To specify the summary statistics to be computed, add them to the PROC MEANS statement as options.

Limitting Decimal Places By default, RPOC MEANS uses the BEST. Format to display values in the report. It can be many decimal places such as To specify the # of decimal places to k places: PROC MEAN Data = Mylib.crew MAXDEC=k ; Maxdec =2 will result in 2 decimals in the report. Maxdec =0 will result in no decimal place in the report. 8

Selecting Variables The VAR statement restricts the variables processed by PROC MEANS. General form of the VAR statement: 9 VAR SAS-variable(s);

Selecting Variables 10 proc means data=Mylib.crew; var Salary; title 'Salary Analysis'; run; Mylib.crew Salary Analysis The MEANS Procedure Analysis Variable : Salary N Mean Std Dev Minimum Maximum ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ

Grouping Observations Using CLASS statement The CLASS statement in the MEANS procedure groups the observations of the SAS data set for analysis. General form of the CLASS statement: 11 CLASS SAS-variable(s);

Grouping Observations 12 proc means data=mylib.crew maxdec=2; var Salary; class JobCode; title 'Salary by Job Code'; run; Mylib.crew NOTE: The MAXDEC= option controls the number of decimal places displayed in the output.

Grouping Observations using CLASS statement 13 Salary by Job Code The MEANS Procedure Analysis Variable : Salary Job N Code Obs N Mean Std Dev Minimum Maximum ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ FLTAT FLTAT FLTAT PILOT PILOT PILOT ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ The summary is displayed based on the order of the categories of the CLASS variable. Variables in CLASS statement can be character or numeric.

Results due to CLASS Statement 14 The summary is displayed based on the order of the categories of the CLASS variable. Variables in CLASS statement can be character or numeric. It is important to make sure you do not use continuous numeric variable in the CLASS statement. If there are two or more variables in CLASS statement, the order of the variables in the CLASS statement determined the order in the output report.

PROC MEAN procedure Using BY Statement 15 PROC MEANS; VAR variable list ; BY Variable; It is important to know that when using BY statement, the data set MUST be sorted in ascending order based on the variables in the BY statement first using PROC SORT. The result using BY statement is displayed as separate tables each is for the category of the variable in the BY statement. If there are two or more variables in the BY statement, the order determines the order of the displayed tables in the report.

Exercise Write a program to read diabetes data set and use PROC Means to produce summary statistics for variables Age, Height and Weight. Run the program and see the results. Produce the summary statistics N, mean median, max, min std, and range, and Set decimal places to two by Maxdec =2. Run the program and see the results. Ass the CLASS statement to produce summary results for each sex. Run the program to see the results. Practice using BY statement for each sex. Before you add the BY SEX statement, Make sure you sort the data by SEX. Run the program and see the result. Add a WHERE statement to select cases for AGE > 30 to the program. Run the program and see the results. 16

Create data set for summary statistics in PROC MEANS In many occasions, we may want to create a SAS data set consisting of the summary statistics calculated by PROC MEANS. OUTPUT OUT=sas-data-set summary-keyword(s) = variablename(s); NOTE: summary-keywords are: Mean, Min, Max, Range, Std, etc. Variablenames are the variable names you want to call for each summary statistics for each variable. 17

Create Summary Data Set using PROC MEANS Examples: PROC MEANS data= mylib.crew; VAR Hiredate salary; OUTPUT OUT = mylib.discrip mean = avghiredate avgsalary Median= medhiredate medsalary; Run; 18

Exercise Revise the following program to do the following task: Use the OUTPUT OUT= statement to save the summary statistics Mean, Median and Std to a sas data set dia_summary, then print this data set to see what’s in there. PROC MEANS data = mylib.diabetes maxdec =2 ; var age height weight; class sex; run; 19

PROC SUMMARY procedure PROC SUMMARY procedure uses the same program codes as PROC MEANS. PROC SUMMARY does not produce report by default. In order to produce the report, you need to add PRINT as the option: PROC SUMMARY data = sasdataset PRINT; When do we use PROC SUMMARY? If you only want to produce and save the summary to a SAS data set, you can use PROC SUMMARY. OR you can use the option: NOPRINT in PROC MEANS.

PROC FREQ procedure Objectives – Generate simple descriptive statistics using the MEANS procedure. – Group observations of a SAS data set for analysis using the CLASS statement in the MEANS procedure. – Create one-way and two-way frequency tables using the FREQ procedure. – Restrict the variables processed by the FREQ procedure. 21

Creating a Frequency Report PROC FREQ displays frequency counts of the data values in a SAS data set. General form of a simple PROC FREQ step: 25 PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set; RUN; PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set; RUN; proc freq data=mylib.crew; run; Example:

Creating a Frequency Report By default, PROC FREQ – analyzes every variable in the SAS data set – displays each distinct data value – calculates the number of observations in which each data value appears (and the corresponding percentage) – indicates for each variable how many observations have missing values. 26

Default Frequency Reports proc freq data=mylib.crew; run; mylib.crew Distribution of LastName Distribution of Salary Distribution of JobCode Distribution of FirstName Distribution of EmpID Distribution of HireDate Distribution of Phone Distribution of Location

One-Way Frequency Report Use the TABLES statement to limit the variables included in the frequency counts. These are typically variables that have a limited number of distinct values. General form of a PROC FREQ step with a TABLES statement: 28 PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set ; TABLES SAS-variables / NOCUM; RUN; PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set ; TABLES SAS-variables / NOCUM; RUN; NOCUM option in the TABLES statement suppress Cumulative frequency and Cumulative percentage

Crosstabular Frequency Reports A two-way, or crosstabular, frequency report analyzes all possible combinations of the distinct values of two variables. The asterisk (*) operator in the TABLES statement is used to cross variables. General form of the FREQ procedure to create a crosstabular report: 33 PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set; TABLES variable1 * variable2; RUN; PROC FREQ DATA=SAS-data-set; TABLES variable1 * variable2; RUN; Variable1 is ROW and Variable2 is Column
