Hi, 

 

I have a quick question about standard deviation in SAS.

Assume that I have the following dataset:

 

     Time     Value

     1          25

     2          32

     3          23

     4          26

 

I want to compute standard deviation of between two rows. It implies that I will have the following dataset:

 

     Time    Value     Stddev

     1          25          .

     2          32         stddev(25;32)

     3          23         stddev(32;23)

     4          26         stddev(23;26)

 

Thanks in advance for help!
