Study Notes
PROC MEANS
- Used for calculating descriptive statistics like min, max, mean, standard deviation, and count.
- Syntax:
PROC MEANS DATA=SAS-data-set; CLASS variables; VAR variables; RUN; - Options can include MEDIAN, MODE, VAR, Q1, Q3, RANGE, QRANGE.
- CLASS statement groups data by specified variables.
- VAR statement specifies the analysis variables.
PROC UNIVARIATE
- Generates detailed descriptive statistics (e.g., skewness, kurtosis) and plots (histograms, normal probability).
- Syntax:
PROC UNIVARIATE DATA=SAS-data-set; VAR variables; ID variables; HISTOGRAM variables; PROBPLOT variables; INSET keywords; RUN; - The VAR statement identifies analysis variables; ID statement labels extreme observations; HISTOGRAM creates histograms.
- The NORMAL option provides a reference line based on estimates of population mean and standard deviation.
PROC SGPLOT
- Offers diverse plotting options, including scatter plots, bar charts, histograms, and box plots.
- Syntax:
PROC SGPLOT DATA=SAS-data-set; DOT category-variable; VBAR category-variable; HBAR category-variable; REG X=numeric-variable Y=numeric-variable; RUN; - REFLINE statement creates reference lines within plots.
ODS Graphics
- Controls the output of statistical graphs.
- Activation:
ODS GRAPHICS ON; - Options include customizing width and integrating interactive features (e.g., imagemap).
PROC TTEST
- Conducts two-sample t-tests to compare groups.
- Syntax:
PROC TTEST DATA=SAS-data-set; CLASS variables; VAR variables; RUN; - PLOTS option controls which plots are generated during outputs.
Correlation Analysis (PROC CORR)
- Analyzes relationships between variables and presents correlation coefficients.
- Syntax:
PROC CORR DATA=SAS-data-set; VAR variables; WITH variable; RUN; - Options like PLOTS, HISTOGRAM, and PLOTS=MATRIX enhance visual outputs.
- Tooltip features for scatter plots are available in HTML outputs.
Regression Analysis (PROC REG)
- Fits regression models to analyze the relationship between response and predictor variables.
- Syntax:
PROC REG DATA=SAS-data-set; MODEL response=predictor; RUN; - Important for calculating the mean square error and R-square values.
- Adjusted R-square accounts for model complexity, increasing only when new terms significantly improve the model.
Multiple Linear Regression
- Evaluates the relationship between a single response variable and multiple predictor variables.
- Null hypothesis states that all slope parameters equal zero; alternative suggests at least one differs.
- Assumptions include linearity, normality of errors, constant variance, and independence of errors.
Scoring and Predicting Values
- Scoring involves applying a fitted model to new data sets to make predictions.
- In PROC SCORE, the TYPE=PARMS option identifies parameter estimates for scoring new observations.
