Does Anyone Know How To Produce Semi Interquartile Range (SIQR)

[asp778ACU]

Greeting SAS Base Master Sifu,

I am trying to work Semi Interquartile Range (SIQR) for survey data report.

At present, we produce SIQR report in old Excel way (attached) which contains SIQR formula - but doing way will be labor intensive & prone to error due to size of the survey data set.

Due to limited SAS knowledge (i'm newbie), any insight or back-bone scripts will be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Semi Interquartile Range is  (Q3 - Q1) * 0.5

Use Proc Means/Summary to get Q1 and Q3 for numeric variables and save the output to a Data set. Use this new data set to compute the required statistic.

ods output summary=work.q1q3;
proc means data = sashelp.class(keep=age) Q1 Q3 ;
   var Age;
    run; 
ods output close;

data want;
   set work.q1q3;
   IQR = (Age_Q3 - Age_Q1) / 2;
run;

If you have an array of numeric values you can use IQR() function as:

data one;
iqr=iqr(2, 4, 1, 3, 999999);
put iqr=;
run;

QRANGE option is for that.

proc means data = sashelp.class(keep=age) Q1 Q3 qrange ;
   var Age;
    run;
