how to calculate number of women

Radwan — Sun, 28 Apr 2019 11:03:54 GMT

Hello everyone.

my question today is How can I calculate the number of women from dummy variable?

I will explain my situation

I have a variable its name gender ( which means 1 female 0 male) this variable contain all firms and many years , as well as there are some firms have more than one woman director on the board that appear as repetition observations .

so i want to calculate the number of women in each firm by each year and the results comes out as new variable.

please help me i need a code for doing so because it take too much time

thanks in advance

Consider this for count and proportion of females for each age.

data indicator;
   set sashelp.class;
   f = sex eq 'F';
   run;
proc summary data=indicator nway missing;
   class age;
   var f;
   output out=females(drop=_:) sum=count mean=prop n=n;
   run;
proc print;
   run;

It is not what i want
because this code count the number of female director in total. I need to count the number of female directors in each firm not in whole sample

Re: how to calculate number of women

@PaigeMiller

Here, i extract 100 observations to be more clear.

I want to count the number of female directors in each firm and in each year to be like ( e.g., if the firm 1 has 3 female directors in 2011, in the raw data (that i have it ) appears as 3 observations in same fiscal year, but i need it as one observation in each year with number of female directors 3). i hope you are gonna help me out

data WORK.GENDER;
  infile datalines dsd truncover;
  input code:32. year:32. gender:32. Age:32.;

@data_null__

I think it works

i did little changes then i got reasonable result

please have a look on the code

proc summary data=gender nway missing;
   class gender;
   var gender;
   by code year;
   output out=femaledirectors(drop=_:) sum=count mean=prop n=n;
   run;

Or place all of the grouping variables on Class statement. No sorting would be needed.

proc summary data=gender nway missing;
   class gender code year;
   var gender;
   output out=femaledirectors(drop=_:) sum=count mean=prop n=n;
run;

My example was posted before you posted data and is an example of a technique. If you haven't use PROC SUMMARY before I suggest you consult the documentation.
