proc corr p-values not showing and Pearson output missing

anonymous_user — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 19:19:35 GMT

I recently used the spearman and noprob options in a proc corr statement. Now when I use proc corr for other data without those options, SAS will not give me p-values in the results and only runs Spearman correlations instead of Pearson correlations. Is there a way to reverse these options? It appears that using them once permanently affected my SAS output.

Hi,

Something like this?

Without probability

proc corr data=sashelp.cars spearman noprob;
var horsepower mpg_highway;
run;

With probability

proc corr data=sashelp.cars spearman;
var horsepower mpg_highway;
run;

Right, so what I am saying is I ran the first code that you provided above to get spearman estimates without p-values. But then when I tried to run a proc corr on new data where I wanted pearson estimates and p-values, i still got spearman output and p values were not available. My problem is that the original code that i ran including spearman and noprob somehow permanently turned off pearson estimates and p-values for my future proc corr statements.

I don't think noprob is a system option. If this is a system options then it will affect subsequent analysis.

proc options;

run;

and this works for new data as well.

New data - With probability

proc corr data=sashelp.class spearman;
var height weight;
run;

As @stat_sas says, NOPROB is not a system option, and it cannot be retained for future analyses. I am guessing the following: you made a mistake in your second PROC CORR run, you did not look in the log an see that mistake, and all you see is the same output without probabilities in the results window. Check your log and/or try it in a new SAS session.

Show the code and any messages from the log that does not create the desired output.

This is a new sas session. That is why im confused and thought it might be a system option.

Without seeing your log, no one can help you.

the output gives a correlation but no p-value underneath

I wonder if you are using a modified template.

proc template;
 list base.corr.StackedMatrix;
 list common.StackedMatrix;
 source base.corr.StackedMatrix;
 source base.corr.StackedMatrix;
quit;

Does your log look something like this? Are the templates coming from sashelp? If not, submit those steps substituting delete for source and try again.

40   proc template;
41    list base.corr.StackedMatrix;
42    list common.StackedMatrix;
43    source base.corr.StackedMatrix;
define table Base.Corr.StackedMatrix;
   notes "Default CORR stacked matrix";
   column (RowName RowLabel) (Matrix) * (Matrix2) * (Matrix3) * (Matrix4);
   translate _val_=._ into "";

   define RowName;
      varname = Variable;
      parent = Common.Column.RowName;
   end;

   define RowLabel;
      varname = Label;
      parent = Common.Column.RowLabel;
   end;
   parent = common.stackedmatrix;
   split_stack = OFF;
end;
NOTE: Path 'Base.Corr.StackedMatrix' is in: SASHELP.TMPLBASE (via SASHELP.TMPLMST).
