I have no idea how to get started on this. I was thinking of creating an array with DO LOOPS to get the observation but not sure
where to start it as I am very new to SAS.
Please let me know if you need anything else. I will be attaching a sample of my code soon.
Thanks!
I would probably do this in two distinct PROC SURVEYSELECT steps like below.
I made example data set from sashelp.cars and made arbitrary mileage categories for demonstration purposes
data cars;
set sashelp.cars;
length mileage $20;
if mpg_city<16 then mileage='Bad';
else if 16<=mpg_city<25 then mileage='Fair';
else if 25<=mpg_city<30 then mileage='Good';
else mileage='Excellent';
do i=1 to 100; output; end;
drop i;
run;
proc sort data=cars;
by mileage;
run;
proc surveyselect data=cars out=sample1 method=srs n=200 noprint;
where mileage in ('Bad', 'Excellent');
strata mileage;
run;
proc surveyselect data=cars out=sample2 method=srs samprate=0.01 noprint;
where mileage in ('Fair', 'Good');
strata mileage;
run;
data finalsample;
set sample1 sample2;
run;
Try PROC SURVEYSELECT
Look at the strata statement and the Secondary input dataset feature of proc surveyselect.
