The UNIVARIATE Procedure

Example 6: Creating an Output Data Set with Multiple Analysis Variables

Procedure features:

PROC UNIVARIATE statement
option:

NOPRINT

OUTPUT statement

VAR statement

Other features:

PRINT procedure

Data set:

SCORE

This example

suppresses the printing of univariate statistics
computes additional percentiles for two variables
creates an output data set with descriptive statistics and percentiles
prints the output data set.

Program

options nodate pageno=1 linesize=80 pagesize=60;

proc univariate data=score noprint;

   var test1 test2;

   output out=teststat mean=MeanTest1 MeanTest2 std=StdDeviationTest1
          pctlpts=33.3 66 99.9  pctlpre=Test1_ Test2_ pctlname=Low ;
run;

proc print data=teststat noobs;
   title1 'Univariate Statistics for Two College Tests';
   title2 'Output Data Set from PROC UNIVARIATE';
run;

Output

The TESTSTAT data set contains one observation with the mean for the two analysis variables and the standard deviation for the first analysis variable. The remaining six variables contain computed percentiles.
