I am running a 2 sample wilcoxon and also supplementing my p-value with with medians using proc means. However, the number of obs in each are different: proc means reports I have 3 in my class variable whereas npar1way reports I have 2. What can be the reason for this?
proc means data=x median;
where group = "A";
class sub;
var change;
run;
proc npar1way data=x wilcoxon;
where group = "A";
class sub;
var change;
exact;
run;
You can add 'nmiss' to your PROC MEANS statement to try to examine missingness of the continuous variables at the class level.
Or, have you tried running a PROC FREQ to examine the categorical variables and their frequencies. That might help.
Such as
PROC FREQ DATA=X;
TABLES SUB;
TABLES GROUP;
TABLES SUB*GROUP;
RUN;

In PROC MEANS, "NObs" is the total number of observations in each group. It includes missing and nonmissing. To see the number of observations that are used in the analysis, put N and NMISS on the PROC MEANS statement:
proc means data=x N NMISS median ;
where group = "A";
class sub;
var change;
run;
The "N" column should match the "N" column in NPAR1WAy.
