I would like to efficiently output frequencies, percent, and cumulative time for a number of categorical variables. 

 

My dataset variables include:

ID number

Many variables for genes with the prefix "rs", with three possible categories per variable

Case (1 or 0)

Years of follow-up per case

Death (1 or 0)

 

I would like my final output to look like this for each gene:

 

rs#:                       Cases # (% of total cases):    PYears:   Deaths # (% of total deaths):

Category1

Category2

Category3

 

My program to calculate Years for each gene and category:

 

proc sort data=analytic; by case rs1; run;

PROC MEANS DATA=analytic NWAY noprint;
  VAR Years ;
  by case rs1;
  OUTPUT OUT=survival SUM=PYears;
    RUN;

 

I would be grateful if someone could post a macro to do this efficiently since I have many genes to consider.

If you have a program that is working for one gene, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump away.  Right now  you are sorting/processing:

 

by case rs1;

 

Instead,  you can process:

 

by gene case rs1;

For pre written macros search lexjansen.com and clinical reports or summary tables. 

You'll find a ton of papers with detailed explanations. 


There's one that's a great reference: Creating Complex Reports by Cynthia Zender. 

 

FYI - as phrased, your question isn't coming across as help me do something I can't do, but can you please do my work? Obviously this is up to people how they respond to questions of this nature.
