proc means with proc ttest

[AliRKM]

Hi there,

Is there a way to combine proc means with proc ttest across several variables to create a single table that gives mean, sd, median and iqr for different groups as well as a ttest.

This creates an approximation of what I want:

proc means data=sashelp.cars n mean stddev median q1 q3 prt;
class origin;
var msrp invoice MPG_Highway;run;

The difference is that I want origin as columns and the ttest to compare means and medians across origins:

	Asia						Europe						USA
Variable	N	Mean	Std Dev	Median	Lower Quartile	Upper Quartile	N	Mean	Std Dev	Median	Lower Quartile	Upper Quartile	N	Mean	Std Dev	Median	Lower Quartile	Upper Quartile	Pr > |t| MEDIAN	Pr > |t| MEAN

PROC MEANS produces an output data set. PROC TTEST produces an output data set. You merge them together and then PROC REPORT can produce the desired table.

Thanks @PaigeMiller. I am really new to this, do you mind providing example code?
I'm looking at about 20 variables which is why I would love an automated process.

This produces something close to what you asked for.

proc summary data=sashelp.cars nway stackods;
class origin;
var msrp invoice MPG_Highway;
output out=_stats_ n= mean= stddev= median= q1= q3= prt= /autoname;
run;

I don't know any way to get the t-test of a median.

If you have to have the table laid out EXACTLY as you have shown, that will take a lot more work.

Perfect - thank you.

Read some more - the t-test is a test of means so asking for a test of medians was a mistake on my part.
