The input data looks like below: 

 
State County HH Var
1 1 1 1
1 1 2 2
1 1 3  
1 2 1 4
1 2 2 5
1 3 1 6
2 1 1 1
2 1 2 2
2 2 1 3
2 3 1 4
2 3 2  

 

The set of 3 variables state, county, and households (HH) specifies unique codes for observations.

 

The variable Var is, say, a characteristic of households and it has missing data. My question is: How can I replace those missing observations with the mean values of households of the same county?

 

The output data should look like:

 

State County HH Var
1 1 1 1
1 1 2 2
1 1 3 1.5
1 2 1 4
1 2 2 5
1 3 1 6
2 1 1 1
2 1 2 2
2 2 1 3
2 3 1 4
2 3 2 4

After some search, it seems quite straightforward with PROC STANDARD. Sorry for bringing this up, but for those who are as novice:

 

proc standard data=have replace;

var Var;

by state county;

run;
