outputting trimmed means from PROC UNIVARIATE

dan_waldo — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 21:47:49 GMT

I am using the TRIMMED= option on PROC UNIVARIATE to lop off the top and bottom 2% of cases:

proc univariate data=stuff trimmed=.02;

var cost;

output out=cost_summ mean=mean std=std;

run;

The "paper" output shows the trimmed statistics, but the output dataset contains the untrimmed figures. This makes me unhappy.

Is there a way to have the PROC output the trimmed measures?

Thanks in advance ... .

Use ODS. Add statement

ods output TrimmedMeans=myTrimmedMeans;

to proc univariate.

Yep, that solved the problem ... thanks, PGStats!
