Hi all, 

I have a dataset that looks approximately like this

Country       year   Dis_type           type_extreme_temp    type_flood

Afghanistan 1990   Extreme temp              1                                 0

Afghanistan 1990   Flood                            0                                1

Afghanistan 1992   Extreme temp              1                                 0

...

Albania        1991   Extreme temp              1                                 0

Albania        1991   Flood                            0                                 1

...

 

and I would like to obtain a dataset that looks like this:

 

Country       year      type_extreme_temp    type_flood

Afghanistan 1990                   1                                 1

Afghanistan 1992                   1                                 0

...

Albania        1991                   1                                 1

...

 

i.e. I would like to group in the same observation all the disasters occurred in a given year (type_extreme_temp and type_flood are dummies =1 if that type of disaster occurred at least once in that year).

I tried by using proc sort but I didn't succeed. 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

This is a job for PROC SUMMARY

 

proc summary data=have nway;
    class country year;
    var type_extreme_temp type_flood;
    output out=want sum=;
run;

Do you want the summary to be the number of events or just 1/0 again? If 1/0 summarize to MAX statistic.

 

proc means data=have nway  MAX stackods;
    class country year;
    var type_extreme_temp type_flood;
    output out=want max=;
run;
