What good is Proc FREQ
• It Counts! Answers question how many
• Display data (error checks), descriptive
• Analyze categorical data, statistical
• It is fast and easy

EXACT
• Alternative to asymptotic p-values (sparse, skewed or heavily tied data)
• Computed using network algorithms• Monte Carlo estimation also available
POINT – exact probability that test statistic equals the observed value
20SHRUG November 28, 2014
New in SAS 9.3•Exact conditional Confidence Limits for Risk Difference and Relative Risk
•Maxlevels
21SHRUG November 28, 2014
New in SAS 9.4
• MIDP - mid-p-values for exact testsonly half of probability of observed sample is included in tail
• Score confidence limits for Odds ratio and Relative Risk
• Supports Baher, exact mid-p, likelihood ratio and logit binomial confidence limits
