PROC REPORT - Calculate 95% CI of mean

jessica_hale — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 21:16:09 GMT

I have been working with Proc Tabulate and Proc Report and have found that Proc Report produces output more to the liking of my audience.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to include the 95% CI of the mean in a define statement. I am starting to believe I will need to write a compute block in order to get the 95% CI, but wanted to ask if anyone knew if Proc Report had a native feature that already calculated this. Thanks!

95% confidence interval for a standard deviation estimate?

opps - meant to write means, not stddev. Been staring at a lot of code today and getting things mixed up.

I don't see it in the list, but if you know the formula you're using, you should have the components to calculate it:
