I have a macro that returns important variables. The demo output file from the macro looks like below :
Cluster | Variables | R Square |
1 | ABCD | 0.5 |
2 | DEFG | 0.7 |
3 | ASSD | 0.04 |
4 | ADFG | 0.0555 |
On average, the macro returns 200-300 variables from 1.2k variables. I want spearman correlation to be run on only on these returning 200 variables. I have a macro for spearman correlation. I want to merge both these two macros.
ods select none;
ods output spearmancorr=sp hoeffdingcorr=hoef;
proc corr data=&dataset spearman hoeffding rank;
var &vars;
with attrition;
run;
If the output you show is in a dataset then:
proc sql noprint;
select variables into : vars separated by ' '
from <your dataset with the variables>;
quit;
Will create a space separated list suitable for use in a VAR statement.
