I am trying to preform a 2-factor anova, IV's=pre & post treatment, patient1 & patient 2 DV=loudness. Some of the data I am using is archival from an excel file and does not contain the actual lists of data, only the mean, std, and n for each task. How do I enter these values and have SAS preform a 2-factor anova using them? I was able to find a method that allowed t-tests to be calculated in this way:
data Para;
input _stat_ $ value group $;
cards
;
n 93 a
mean 74.08 a
std 0.29 a
n 90 b
mean 73.53 b
std 0.71 b
;
proc ttest data=Para;
title 'Pre vs Post Para';
class group;
var value;
run;
I tried to replicate this input with proc glm, but it does not work. It instead reads the value column as one continuos set of data instead of the discrete mean, n, and std. Giving average values of e.g. (90+74.08+.29)/3 which it then compares.
data SASTest;
input _stat_ $ value group $ paitent $;
cards
;
n 93 pre DS03
mean 74.08 pre DS03
std 0.29 pre DS03
n 90 post DS03
mean 73.53 post DS03
std 0.71 post DS03
n 93 pre DS01
mean 68.58 pre DS01
std 1.422 pre DS01
n 90 post DS01
mean 70.80 post DS01
std 0.8 post DS01
;
proc glm data=SAStest;
class group paitent;
model value = group paitent group*paitent;
run;
I know other Stats programs are capable of plugging and chugging the mean, std, and n for procedures like they are a TI-83 calculator formula, and I have to believe SAS is capable of it as well, but how do I code for this?
Apparently, PROC GLM does not share PROC TTEST's feature to accept summary statistics as input data for certain analyses.
However, a bit of googling yields:
