Proc Survey select - Adding more to sample size

ismahero2 — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 18:06:23 GMT

Hi,

I am using Proc Survey Select to create sample data from some big datasets I want to validate some data. I need a code that will allow me to increase my sample size without changing the original output. I always use a fized seed number so I can replicate my sample if needed.

For example:

I have a table X with 10 records and I do a sample of 2...

Dataset X

Field

100

120

320

560

125

888

215

214

698

563

I obtain the sample dataset Y

215

320

Now I want to increase my sample size to 4, but want to make sure the 215 and 320 are still present as part of my new sample dataset. I would like sometyhing like this:

215

320

563

100

Can anyone help me? The code that I am curently using is htis one:

PROC SURVEYSELECT

DATA=R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS (KEEP=ID COVERAGE)

METHOD=SRS

OUT=R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS

SEED=26

N=15 ;

RUN;

Start with the larger size first (N=4). To get the smaller sample, just use the first few elements of the bigger sample:

PROC SURVEYSELECT DATA=Have METHOD=SRS OUT=WantBig
SEED=26 N=4; 
RUN;

data WantSmall;
set WantBig(obs=2);
run;

You can extend your sample if you have a variable (inSample below) indicating if the obs is already selected. Put those selected obs in a separate strata:

data test;
input Field inSample;
datalines;
100 0
120 0 
320 1
560 0
125 0
888 0
215 1 
214 0 
698 0
563 0
;

proc sort data=test; by inSample; run;

%let newSampleSize=4;

proc sql;
create table sampleStrata as
select 0 as inSample, &newSampleSize - sum(inSample) as _nsize_ from test
union
select 1 as insample, sum(inSample) from test;
quit;

proc surveyselect data=test sampsize=sampleStrata out=newSample outall seed=78986;
strata inSample;
run;

proc print noobs; run;

Exclude these sample data you have already gotten from the original data . and run proc surveyselect again.

PROC SURVEYSELECT
DATA=sashelp.class
METHOD=SRS
OUT=R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS1
SEED=26
N=2 ;
RUN;
proc print;run;





proc sql;
create table temp as
 select * from sashelp.class
 except
 select * from R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS1;
quit;
PROC SURVEYSELECT
DATA=temp
METHOD=SRS
OUT=R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS2
SEED=26
N=2 ;
RUN;
data want;
 set R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS1 R_ALL_IDPROOFSTATUS2;
run;
proc print;run;
