  2. Sorting, Printing and Summarizing Your Data • SAS Procedures (or PROC) perform specific analysis or function, produce results or reports • Eg: Proc Print data =new; run; • All procedures have required statements, and most have optional statements • All procedures start with the key word “PROC”, followed by the name of the procedure, such as PRINT, or contents • Options, if there are any, follow the procedure name • Data=data_name options tells SAS which dataset to use as an input for this procedure. NOTE: if you skip it, SAS will use the most recently created dataset, which is not necessary the same as the mostly recently used data.

  3. BY statement • The BY statement is required for only one procedure, Proc sort PROC Sort data = new; By gender; Run; • For all the other procedures, BY is an optional statement, and tells SAS to perform analysis for each level of the variable after the BY statement, instead of treating all subjects as one group Proc Print data =new; By gender; Run; • All procedures, except Proc sort, assumes you data are already sorted by the variables in your BY statement

  4. PROC Sort • Syntax Proc Sort data =input_data_name out =out_data_name ; By variable-1 … variable-n; • The variables in the by statement are called by variables. • With one by variable, SAS sorts the data based on the values of that variable • With more than one variable, SAS sorts observations by the first variable, then by the second variable within the categories of the first variable, and so on • The DATA option specify the input data set. Without the DATA option, SAS will use the most recently created data set.

  5. PROC Sort • By default, SAS sorts data in ascending order, from the lowest to the highest value or from A to Z. To have the ordered reversed, you can add the keyword DESCENDING before the variable you want to use the highest to the lowest order or Z to A order • The NODUPKEY option tells SAS to eliminate any duplicate observations that have the same values for the BY variables

  6. PROC Sort • Example: The sealife.txt contains information on the average length in feet of selected whales and sharks. We want to sort the data by the family and length Name Family Length beluga whale 15 whale shark 40 basking shark 30 gray whale 50 mako shark 12 sperm whale 60 dwarf shark .5 whale shark 40 humpback . 50 blue whale 100 killer whale 30

  7. PROC Sort • Example: The sealife.txt contains information on the average length in feet of selected whales and sharks. We want to sort the data by the family and length Name Family Length beluga whale 15 whale shark 40 basking shark 30 gray whale 50 mako shark 12 sperm whale 60 dwarf shark .5 whale shark 40 humpback . 50 blue whale 100 killer whale 30

  8. PROC Sort DATA marine; INFILE 'F:\sealife.txt'; INPUT Name $ Family $ Length; run; * Sort the data; PROCSORTDATA = marine OUT = seasort NODUPKEY; BY Family DESCENDING Length; run;

  9. Title and Footnote statement • Title and Footnote statements are global statements, and are not technically part of any step. • You can put them anywhere in your program; but since they apply to the procedure output, it is usually make sense to put them with the procedure • Syntax Title ‘This is a title for this procedure’ Footnote ‘This is the footnote for this procedure’; • To cancel the current title or footnote, use the following null statement: Title; Footnote;

  10. Label Statement • The label statement can create descriptive labels, up to 256 characters long, for each variable • Eg: Label Shipdate = ‘Date merchandise was shipped’; ID =‘Identification number of subject’; • When a label statement is used in a data step, the labels become part of the data set; but when used in a PROC step, the labels stay in effect only for the duration of that step If you want to see the labels in a proc print you have to use the option label.

  11. DATA marine; INFILE 'C:\sealife.txt'; INPUT Name $ Family $ Length; Label Family = "Famili name" Length="subject lenght“ ; run; proc print data =marine label; run;

  12. PROC Format statement • The PROC FORMAT procedure allows you to create your own formats. It is useful when you use coded data. • The Proc format procedure creates formats what will later be associated with variables in a FORMAT statement • Syntax of the PROC FORMAT: PROC FORMAT; Value name range-1 =‘formated-text-1’ range-2 =‘formated-text-2’ range-n =‘formated-text-n’; • Name is the name of the format you are creating; if the format is for character data, the you need to use $name instead of name. In addition the name can not be the name of an existing format

  13. PROC Format statement • Each range is the value of the variable that is assigned to the text given in the quotation marks • The text can be up to 32,767 characters long, but some procedures print only the first 8 to 16 characters • The following are some examples of valid range specifications: ‘A’=‘Asian’; character values must be put in quotation marks 1,3,5,7,9=‘ODD’; with more than one value in the range, separate them with comma or hyphen (-); 5000-high=‘high price’; the key word high and low can be used in ranges to indicate the lowest and highest non-missing values for the variable

  14. PROC Format statement • Here is a survey about subject’s preference of car colors. The data contains subject’s age, sex (coded as 1 for male and 2 for female), annual income, and preferred car color (yellow, green, blue, and white). Here are the data: age sex income color 19 1 14000 Y 45 1 65000 G 72 2 35000 B 31 1 44000 Y 58 2 83000 W

  15. DATA carsurvey; INFILE ‘C:\car.txt'; INPUT Age Sex Income Color $ ; run; PROCFORMAT; VALUE gender 1 = 'Male’ 2 = 'Female'; VALUE agegroup 13 -< 20 = 'Teen' 20 -< 65 = 'Adult' 65 - HIGH = 'Senior'; VALUE $col 'W' = 'Moon White' 'B' = 'Sky Blue' 'Y' = 'Sunburst Yellow' 'G' = ‘Green'; run; PROCPRINTDATA = carsurvey; FORMAT Sex gender. Age agegroup. Color $col. Income DOLLAR8.; RUN;

  16. Subsetting in procedures with a where statement • The WHERE statement tells a procedure to use a subset of data • It is an optional statement for any PROC step • Unlike subsetting in the DATA step, using a WHERE statement in a procedure does not create a new data set • The basic form is Where condition; (eg : where gender =‘female’;)

  17. Subsetting in procedures with a where statement • A data set contains information about well-known painters: Name Style Nation of origin Mary Cassatt Impressionism U Paul Cezanne Post-impressionism F Edgar Degas Impressionism F Paul Gauguin Post-impressionism F Claude Monet Impressionism F Pierre Auguste Renoir Impressionism F Vincent van Gogh Post-impressionism N • Goal: we want a list of impressionist painters

  18. DATA style; INFILE‘C:\style.txt'; INPUT Name $ 1-21 style $ 23-40 Origin $ 42; RUN; PROCPRINTDATA = style; WHERE style = 'Impressionism'; TITLE'Major Impressionist Painters'; FOOTNOTE'F = France N = Netherlands U = US'; RUN;

  19. Summarizing you data with PROC MEANS • The proc means procedure provide simple statistics on numeric variables. Syntax: Proc means options ; • List of simple statistics can be produced by proc means: MAX: the maximum value MIN: the minimum value MEAN: the mean N : number of non-missing values STDDEV: the standard deviation NMISS: number of missing values RANGE: the range of the data SUM: the sum MEDIAN: the median DEFAULT

  20. Proc means • Options of Proc means: • By variable-list : perform analysis for each level of the variables in the list. Data needs to be sorted first • Var variable list: specifies which variables to use in the analysis

  21. Proc means • A wholesale nursery is selling garden flowers, they want to summarize their sales figures by month. The data is as follows: ID Date Lily SnapDragon Marigold 756-01 05/04/2001 120 80 110 756-01 05/14/2001 130 90 120 834-01 05/12/2001 90 160 60 834-01 05/14/2001 80 60 70 901-02 05/18/2001 50 100 75 834-01 06/01/2001 80 60 100 756-01 06/11/2001 100 160 75 901-02 06/19/2001 60 60 60 756-01 06/25/2001 85 110 100

  22. DATA sales; INFILE 'C:\Flowers.txt'; INPUT CustomerID $ @9 SaleDate MMDDYY10. Lily SnapDragon Marigold; Month = MONTH(SaleDate); RUN; PROCSORT DATA = sales; BY Month; RUN; * Calculate means by Month for flower sales; PROCMEANS DATA = sales; BY Month; VAR Lily SnapDragon Marigold; TITLE 'Summary of Flower Sales by Month'; RUN;

  23. OUTPUT statement • The SAS data set created by the output statement will contain all the variables defined in the output statistic list; any variables in a BY or CLASS statement, plus two new variables: _TYPE_ and _FREQ_ • Without BY or CLASS statement, the data will have just one observation • If there is a BY statement, the data will have one observation for each level of the BY group • CLASS statements produce one observation for each level of interaction of the class variables • The value _TYPE_depends on the level of interactions of the CLASS statement. • _TYPE_= 0 is the grand total

  24. OUTPUT statement of the PROC MEANS • We can use the OUTPUT statement to write summary statistics in a SAS data set. • Syntax OUTPUT out =data_name output-statistic-list; • Eg: * Calculate means by Month for flower sales; PROCMEANS DATA = sales; OUTPUT OUT= values; BY Month; VAR Lily SnapDragon Marigold; TITLE 'Summary of Flower Sales by Month'; RUN; • In the output data set new1, we have two means for age and BMI respectively. The variable names are mean_age mean_BMI respectively. • Be careful with the output format, it might not look as the output of the proc.

  25. data report; set values ( keep= Lily SnapDragon _STAT_ ); if _STAT_ ="MIN" or _STAT_="MAX"; run;
