Means by Variables and overall (mean) using proc summary

Akter — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 16:06:24 GMT

Hello,

Could you pls suggest me how can i get Overall mean and mean for scores by Gender using PROC SUMMARY. See the dataset and the output tables i want; I'm struggling to get the Overall Mean for Score1 and Score 2 according to Gender (Male, Female).

data Made;

ID	Gender	Score1	Score2
101	M	10	8
102	F	9	12
103	M	7	5
104	F	5	8

output want;

Gender	All (mean)	Score1 (mean)	Score2 (mean)
M
F
Total (mean)

Thank you,

Akter

Hello,

Here you are:

data have;
input ID $ Gender $ Score1 Score2;
cards;
101	M	10	8
102	F	9	12
103	M	7	5
104	F	5	8
;
run;

PROC SUMMARY data=have;
 CLASS Gender;
 var Score: ;
 output out=summary_want;
run;

PROC PRINT data=summary_want;
 where _STAT_='MEAN';
run;
/* end of program */

Have a nice Sunday evening!

Hello again,

(See also previous reply!)

Or do you want this? (It's not very clear from your question).

data have;
input ID $ Gender $ Score1 Score2;
cards;
101	M	10	8
102	F	9	12
103	M	7	5
104	F	5	8
;
run;

PROC SUMMARY data=have;
 CLASS Gender;
 var Score: ;
 output out=summary_want(where=(_STAT_='MEAN') drop=_TYPE_ _FREQ_);
run;

data summary_want;
 set summary_want;
 MeanScore1Score2 = mean(Score1,Score2);
run;
/* end of program */

What is it you want in that first output column you have labeled ALL?

I cannot figure out what statistic you want in that first column. Here is want the raw output of PROC MEANS/SUMMARY can easily produce.

proc summary data=have ;
  class gender;
  var score1 score2;
  output out=want mean= ;
run;

Results:

Obs    Gender    _TYPE_    _FREQ_    Score1    Score2

 1                  0         4       7.75       8.25
 2       F          1         2       7.00      10.00
 3       M          1         2       8.50       6.50
