Hello,
I have a question about quintiles please. I divided a score into quintiles. In SAS how can I get the exact cut offs of each quintile and then how can I calculate the median value of each quintile please?
I would appreciate any help!
Thank you

Since the median of a quintile is itself a percentile, you want the 10, 20, 30, 40 ... percentiles. So you really want
proc means data=new min p10 p20 p30 p40 p50 p60 p70 p80 p90 max;
Would this be acceptable?
proc means data=new min p20 p40 p60 p80 max median ;
class quintiles;
var Score ;
run;
