Creating a Population Similar to Test Population

silvergrenade — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 14:18:45 GMT

Hi All,

I have a test population with an average spend of 4520 while the control population has an average spend of 3700$. My aim is to remove certain Control people so as to make the average spends similar. The control and test are about 20000 obs each.

How do I do this in SAS?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
