How can i get t-statistic from proc corr?

deleted_user — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:34:56 GMT

I just wonder if i can get t-statistic from proc corr. I tried many ways to make sas show t-statistic instead of p-value in proc corr because i need t-statistic to do an analysis. I don't know whether i can get it or i need to use another way.

Thank in advance. Your help is always appreciated.

I don't think PROC CORR was designed to produce t-statistics, as it doesn't do t-tests.

Depending on specifically what t-tests you are interested in, you could use PROC MEANS, PROC TTEST and probably a dozen other SAS procedures.

I don't think that CORR will do that directly. You can readily output the correlation coefficient and the sample size and compute one in a subsequent data step. See
