How to calculate average

chennupriya — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 23:06:33 GMT

Hi ,

I have a dataset which has item id , item type , some factors and i want to calculate average by item id and item type

Item id	Item_type	APPLE_T1	ORANGE_T1
123	BOTH	2	2
123	BOTH	2	2
123	BOTH	2	2
123	APPLE	1.6	0
123	ORANGE	0	1.3
456	BOTH	2	2
456	BOTH	2	2
456	APPLE	1.6	0

So while calculating average of APPLE_T1 and Orange_t1 we should consider by itemid and itemtype we should note that Item_type=BOTH means (its applicable for both APPLES AND ORANGES )

So after we create average of those by ids the table should look like below

So for item id 123 - APPLE_T1 1.9 is (2+2+2+1.6)/4 and for orange_t1 1.825 is (2+2+2+1.3)/4

and for item 456 - APPLE_T1 is (2+2+1.6)/3 and for orange_t1 = 2+2 /2

Item id	APPLE_T1	ORANGE_T1
123	1.9	1.825
456	1.86	2

CAn anyone please help on how do i need to do this type of averaging

Thank you

data have;
infile datalines truncover;
input Item Item_type $ APPLE_T1 ORANGE_T1;
datalines;
123 BOTH 2 2
123 BOTH 2 2
123 BOTH 2 2
123 APPLE 1.6 0
123 ORANGE 0 1.3
456 BOTH 2 2
456 BOTH 2 2
456 APPLE 1.6 0
;

proc sql;
create table want as
select Item, mean(case when APPLE_T1=0 then . else APPLE_T1 end ) as m1, mean(case when ORANGE_T1=0 then . else ORANGE_T1 end ) as m2
from have
group by item;
quit;

Also try proc means, summary etc. Search and copypaste code from internet

So basically you are ignoring the ITEM_TYPE variable and assuming that a value of zero is a missing value instead?

What if zero is a valid value?

create table want as
  select Item
       , mean(case when item_type ne 'ORANGE' then APPLE_T1 else . end) as mean_apple
       , mean(case when item_type ne 'APPLE' then ORANGE_T1 else . end) as mean_orange
  from have
  group by item
  ;
quit;

A multilabel format may also be an option, here's how it may work. You'd have to check if its any easier, but I can't seem to think this one through for some reason.

data have;
infile datalines truncover;
input Item Item_type $ APPLE_T1 ORANGE_T1;
datalines;
123 BOTH 2 2
123 BOTH 2 2
123 BOTH 2 2
123 APPLE 1.6 0
123 ORANGE 0 1.3
456 BOTH 2 2
456 BOTH 2 2
456 APPLE 1.6 0
;
run;



title 'Fruit Summary by Item Type';
proc means data=HAVE n mean sum maxdec=2;
class item item_type /mlf;
format item_type $fruit.;
var apple_t1 orange_t1;
ods output summary=want;
run;
