- Using the DATASETS Procedure Part II
- PROC DATASETS is a single PROC containing functionality that is also available in PROCs COPY, CONTENTS, and APPEND. The DATASETS procedure is more efficient, more versatile, and has features far beyond COPY, CONTENTS, and APPEND. This paper will try to explain why, when, and how to use the DATASETS procedure....

- Skinny to Fat: In search of the "Ideal" Dataset
- With SAS, given a "Tall" table with numerous observations for a patient, it can be difficult to analyze data between rows. While creating a "Short" dataset with all observations for a patient in one row can be accomplished with PROC TRANSPOSE, in multivariable datasets the number of TRANSPOSE statements can...

- Getting Up to Speed With PROC REPORT
- Learning the basics of PROC REPORT can help the new SAS user avoid hours of headaches. PROC REPORT can often be used in lieu of PROC TABULATE or DATA _NULL_ reporting - two areas that have driven the new SAS user crazy. With the added capabilities of ODS provided in...

- Processing Large Environmental Datasets With SAS: Writing Robust and Dynamic SAS Macro Code
- This paper discusses the application of SAS to a number of environmental datasets. Usually reports, graphical visualizations, summary statistics, and subset or aggregate datasets must be generated from one or more of these datasets. A library of SAS macros was developed while building a reporting system for several large and...

- PROC FORMAT - Not Just Another Pretty Face
- PROC FORMAT, because of its name, is most often used to change the appearance of data for presentation. But PROC FORMAT can be used for much more than the cosmetic transformation of data. It can be a tool for redefining data, recoding data, transforming data for tabulation and reporting, subsetting...

- Easy Graphs With PROC FORMAT, PROC GPLOT, and ODS
- By means of straightforward commands in SAS v8.2 and SAS/GRAPH, graphs and charts can be generated that are visually appealing and easy to understand without having to import data into another graph-generating program. Using PROC GPLOT/GHART in conjunction with PROC FORMAT and ODS output delivery system, data can be visualized...

- So You're Still Not Using PROC REPORT; Why Not?
- Everyone who can spell SAS knows how to use PROC PRINT. Its primary use may be as a development tool to help in debugging a long multi-step program, or as a simple report generator when all that is really needed is a quick look at the data, or even a...

- Proc SQL - A Primer for SAS Programmers
- The Structured Query Language SQL has a very different syntax and, often, a very different method of creating the desired results than the SAS Data Step and the SAS procedures. Only a very thorough manual, such as the SAS Guide to the Proc SQL Procedure, could even begin to describe...

- Turning the Data Around: PROC TRANSPOSE and Alternative Approaches
- PROC TRANSPOSE can be used to "Rotate" transpose SAS data sets i.e. the values of one given variable become variable names and variables in the input data set become observations in the output. The answers to three simple questions suffice to define the specification statements of PROC TRANSPOSE. This paper...

- Calculating Statistics Using PROC MEANS Versus PROC SQL
- PROC SQL is a widely used language for retrieving and updating data in tables/views. Mainly it is used to retrieve data from RDBMS, calculate the descriptive statistics or summarize the data. The MEANS procedure provides data summarization tools to compute descriptive statistics for variables across all observations and within groups...

- Making Sense of PROC TABULATE
- The TABULATE procedure in SAS provides a flexible platform to generate tabular reports. Many beginning SAS programmers have a difficult time understanding the syntax of PROC TABULATE and tend to avoid using the procedure. This paper will explain the syntax of PROC TABULATE and, with examples, show how to grasp...

- A Comparison of Two Procedures to Fit Multi-Level Data: PROC GLM Versus PROC MIXED
- This paper presents the advantages of using PROC MIXED versus PROC GLM as a solution for hierarchical data. Analyzing multi-level, non-independent data requires a different methodology from the standard general linear model that is implemented in PROC GLM. A Random Coefficient RC regression model utilizing the SAS procedure PROC MIXED...

- Using SAS Proc NLMIXED for Robust Regression
- This paper shows how the NLMIXED procedure can be used to fit linear models (simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, analysis of variance and analysis of covariance) when data are not normally distributed or contaminated with potential outliers. This is accomplished using PROC NLMIXED's capability of fitting user defined distributions...
