  1. Quick Data Summaries in SAS • Start by bringing in data • Use permanent data set for these examples • Proc Tabulate • Produces summaries very quickly and easily • Designed to produce “written” output, but not a table that can be manipulated further

  2. Quick Data Summaries in SAS • Basic Tabulate Syntax: Proc tabulate; Class variable1 variable2; Var variable3; Table row_variable , analysis_variable*statistic; Run; Proc tabulate; Class variable1 variable2; Var variable3; Table row_variable , column_variable*analysis_variable*statistic; Run; Important to recognize function of comma, space and asterisk!

  3. Quick Data Summaries in SAS • Useful options – after procedure statement • Formchar “ “ removes column separators • Noseps removes row separators • Format=6.2 format output to 6 spaces with two decimal places • Useful options – after table statement • RTS=6 narrows column headers • Misstext=“0” fills in miss. obs. with zero

  4. Statistics available in Tabulate • Mean, n, standard deviation, standard deviation, variance, coefficient of variation • Minimum, maximum, number of missing observations • Percentages of totals (can be tricky). Depends if you want percentage of n or of total, and if you want total of a row, column, or grand total.

  5. Homework • Try to develop the appropriate tabulate statements to produce tables emulating those in the handouts • Also think about the data structure needed to support these analyses
