Is there an easy way of creating band in SAS? I have a dataset where I would like to create bands for certain factors i.e. age etc. based on the volumn of data.
Is "band" a statistical term? If so, post this in Statistical Procedures forum instead to target your audience.
Not really. I just want to create something like the following:
Age Band
24 A.18-25
44 C.25-44
23 ...
65 ...
99
without having to define each level manually
So, given the width, lower and upper bounds i can create bands automatically
Proc Format should work:
Data A;
Input Age @@;
Datalines;
24 44 23 65 99
;
Run;
Proc Format;
Value AgeFormat 18-25 = "A"
25-44 = "C"
44-High = "Old" ;
Run;
Data B;
Set A;
Group=Put(Age,AgeFormat.);
Run;
