What Happened to My Data?: Understanding How Results Are Affected When Formatting Is Applied to Classification Variables
White Paper The supporting examples focus on Base SAS reporting procedures, PROC REPORT, PROC TABULATE, PROC SUMMARY, and PROC MEANS. In the TABULATE, SUMMARY, and MEANS procedures, a CLASS variable is a classification variable. [31 May 2008]
Creating Order Out of Character Chaos: Collation Capabilities of the SAS System
White Paper The SAS System's primary means of achieving an alternative collating sequence has been to specify a TRANslation TABle (TRANTAB), using the PROC SORT SORTSEQ option, with which PROC SORT can reorder individual characters. [02 Jun 2007]
Easy Graphs With PROC FORMAT, PROC GPLOT, and ODS
White Paper Using PROC GPLOT/GHART in conjunction with PROC FORMAT and ODS (output delivery system), data can be visualized in a comprehensible style. By using PROC GPLOT or PROC GCHART with PROC FORMAT a colorful, quality graphical representation of data can... [02 Jun 2007]
Calculating Statistics Using PROC MEANS Versus PROC SQL
White Paper Both PROC MEANS and PROC SQL are now part of the base SAS product. PROC SQL is a widely used language for retrieving and updating data in tables/views. The MEANS procedure provides data summarization tools to compute descriptive statistics for... [01 Jun 2007]
Getting the Most From PROC MEANS
White Paper PROC MEANS (and its "Sister," PROC SUMMARY) have been BASE SAS Software procedures for a long time. Most SAS Software users have found their ability to rapidly analyze and summarize the values of numeric variables to be essential tools in their... [01 Jun 2007]
Summarizing Data With Base SAS PROCs
White Paper Additionally, PROC FORMAT is also available to modify the appearance of data values or combine values into desired categories within PROCs without changing actual data values or creating new variables. [01 Jun 2007]
What's Your _TYPE_?: How to Find the CLASS You Want in PROC SUMMARY
White Paper This method will also work with PROC MEANS and other SAS Procedures, which use the CLASS Statement. Understanding PROC SUMMARY and how it works can make it easier when summarizing large data sets. By knowing the number of summaries the PROC SUMMARY... [03 May 2007]
ODS LAYOUT: Arranging ODS Output as You See Fit
White Paper It's a bit like PROC GREPLAY only not just for graphics anymore. The Output Delivery System, introduced in version 7, provided from the beginning the means to format the SAS output with flexible formatting in a variety of different formats. [27 Apr 2007]
The Essential Meaning of PROC MEANS: A Beginner's Guide to Summarizing Data Using SAS Software
White Paper Learning how to use PROC MEANS is often a difficult task for new users of the SAS System. By the end of the paper the reader should have a grasp of what PROC MEANS can do, how to avoid common pitfalls in using it, and some of the most important... [31 Jan 2007]
Custom Template for Reporting Interim Analyses Using PROC REPORT and Output Delivery System (ODS)
White Paper This Object Oriented feature works with PROC PRINT, PROC TABULATE, PROC REPORT and Data _NULL_ and can be used to produce calculated summary statistics using Base SAS and STAT procedures, such as FREQ, MEANS, SUMMARY, UNIVARIATE, ANOVA, GLM, MIXED... [31 Jan 2007]
Estimation of Type III Error and Power for Directional Two-Tailed Tests Using PROC POWER
White Paper This paper demonstrates how to use PROC POWER to estimate the prospective power and Type III error for one-sample, two-sample and paired t tests for means, and binomial tests for proportions, using the directional two-tailed testing procedure. [31 Jan 2007]
So You're Still Not Using PROC REPORT; Why Not?
White Paper PROC REPORT can provide the standard PROC PRINT functionality, but in addition, can easily perform many of the tasks that a person would otherwise have to use the SORT, MEANS, FREQ and TABULATE procedures to accomplish. [30 Jan 2007]
Like Wine, the TTEST Procedure Improves With Age
PROC TTEST is an old reliable among SAS/STAT procedures, testing hypotheses about means of one and two normal samples. Perhaps the most useful new feature is the new plotting capability of PROC TTEST. [22 Dec 2006]

Fast and Easy Ways to Check Your Work: Using PROC MEANS to Confirm Continuous Variable Categorizations
White Paper The purpose of this paper is to present a process where a SAS programmer may utilize PROC MEANS to check one's work after taking a continuous variable and creating a new variable with discrete categories. [14 Dec 2006]
