  1. Generating Correlated Random Variables Kriss Harris Senior Statistician Kriss.5.Harris@gsk.com

  2. Why? • I was producing graphs for a SAS Graphics Training Course that will be rolled out soon, and I wanted to control the correlation between the variables.

  3. Previous Method Use Excel to fill down and then generate another column that was fairly correlated

  4. Generating Correlated Random Variables using the SAS Datastep data bivariate_final; mean1=0; *mean for y1; mean2=10; *mean for y2; sig1=2; *SD for y1; sig2=5; *SD for y2; rho=0.90; *Correlation between y1 and y2; do i = 1to100; r1 = rannor(1245); r2 = rannor(2923); y1 = mean1 + sig1*r1; y2 = mean2 + rho*sig2*r1+sqrt(sig2**2-sig2**2*rho**2)*r2; output; end; run;

  11. Generating Correlated Random Variables using Proc IML • To generate more than 2 correlated random variables than it’s easier to use the Cholesky decomposition method in Proc IML. • IML = Interactive Matrix Language

  12. Generating Correlated Random Variables using Proc IML prociml; use bivariate_final; read all var {r1} into x3; read all var {r2} into x4; read all var {mean1} into mean1; read all var {mean2} into mean2; x={ 49, 925}; /* C */ mattrib x rowname=(rows [1:2 ]) colname=(cols [1:2]); Cholesky_decomp = root(x); /* U */ matrix_con = x3||x4; mean = mean1||mean2; final_simulated = mean + matrix_con * Cholesky_decomp; /*RC*/ varnames = {y3 y4}; create Cholesky_correlation from final_simulated (|colname = varnames|); appendfrom final_simulated; quit; Use is similar to set. Reading in the simulated data and the means
