Hi, 

 

I have a dataset called A: 

 

Count | Percent 

0        |  0.05

2        |  0.15

5        |  0.20

...          .....

 

How can I obtain a dataset called B, where Cumulative Percentage for Count = 5 is the Percentage for Count <= 5:

(p(Count = 0) + p(Count = 2) + p(Count = 5) = 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.2 = 0.4) 

 

Count | Perenct | Cumulative Percent

0        |   0.05     |  0.05

2        |   0.15     |  0.20

5        |   0.20     |  0.40

...           ...             ...

 

Thanks!

Are you using IML?

 

My assumption is you're looking to calculate the cumulative value?

 

If so, something as simple as:

 

 

retain cum_percent;
cum_percent = sum(cum_percent,  percent);

Use the CUSUM function:

 

proc iml;
percent = {0.05, 0.15, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2};
cusum = cusum(percent);
print percent cusum;

Hi,

 

Any kind of procedure if works would be great! And I just tried yours in a data step, and got what I have. Thanks!

I'm not sure how you're calculating those numbers in the first place, but if using proc freq/means/tabulate you should be able to calculate the cumulative directly.
