Computing Statistics Using PROC MEANS
What Does the MEANS Procedure Do?
The MEANS procedure
provides data summarization tools to compute descriptive statistics
for variables across all observations and within groups of observations.
For example, PROC MEANS does the following:
-
calculates descriptive statistics based on moments
-
estimates quantiles, which includes the median
-
calculates confidence limits for the mean
-
identifies extreme values
-
performs a t test
By default, PROC MEANS displays output.
The PROC MEANS Step
The
MEANS procedure can include many statements and options for specifying
statistics.

Syntax, MEANS procedure:
PROC MEANS <DATA=SAS-data-set>
<statistic-keyword(s)> <option(s)>;
RUN;

In its simplest form,
PROC MEANS prints the n-count
(number of nonmissing values), the mean, the standard deviation, and
the minimum and maximum values of every numeric variable in a data
set.
proc means data=perm.survey; run;
