Hands-On SAS for Data Analysis

Proc Univariate

This is a procedure that can accomplish many tasks. However, it is frequently used for producing descriptive statistics based on moments (including skewness and kurtosis), quantiles or percentiles, frequency tables, and extreme values. It can produce a host of charts and goodness of fit tests for a lot of distribution types.

Since the previous function dealt with frequency tables, let's kick-start learning about this procedure by producing something similar. Use the following code to produce the frequency table:

ODS Select Frequencies;Proc Univariate Data = Analyse Freq;Var _All_;Run;

This will result in the following output:

As you can see, we can produce frequencies using Proc Univariate. However, if frequencies are the ...
