PROC STANDARD

What does proc standard do?1. It standardizes variables in a data set to a given mean and standard deviation.2. It creates a new data set containing the standardized values

Example

New data set

SAS FUNCTIONS

SAMPLE STATISTICS

Mean

=Mean(var1, var2)

Sum

=Sum(var1, var2)

Square root

=Sqrt(var)

Round

=round(var, .1)

SAMPLE STATISTICS (con.)

Maxmax(argument1, argument2)Minmin(argument1, argument2)Mod mod(argument1,argument-2)Eg. 9/3Argument1- the dividend=9Argument2-the divisor=3

LOG

• Log

X=log(var);

PROBABILITY

Ex. Poisson probability distribution

cdf (‘POISSON’, n, m)

N is an integer random variable (range: n=0,1, ..)

M is a numeric mean parameter (range: m>0)

EXPONENTIAL

• Exponential x=exp(1.0)=2.718

exp (argument)

SAS OPERATORS

SAS OPERATORS (ARITHMETIC)

Symbol Definition Example

**raise to a

powera**3

* multiplication 2*y

/ division var/5

+ addition num+3

- subtractionvar1-

var2

SAS OPERATORS (COMPARISON)

Symbo

l

Mnemonic

Equivalent Definition Example

= EQ equal to a=3

^= NE not equal to a ne 3

> GT greater than num>5

< LT less than num<5

>= GEgreater than or equal

tovar>=300

<= LE less than or equal to var<=300

IN IN equal to one of a list num in (3, 4,

5)

SAS OPERATORS (LOGICAL)

Symbol Mnemonic Equivalent Example

& AND (a>b) & (c>d)

/ OR (a>b) / (c>d)

^ NOT not (a>b)
