please help me understand the meaning of * in front of a variable name such as:
COUNT=events;*numerator;
Total=denominatoryr1;*denominator;
Thank you
I have imported this code in to SAS. I surely can say this is a comment/ explanation / annotation whoever write this program.
Please have a look once in to attachment that I am sending with this. I hope it helpful.
It gives you extra information that which variable you use as Denominator and Nominator for calculation.
If you have seen this in Code it should be comment. Can you provide where you have exactly seen ?
There was no comment
here is more code before and after:
data rateyr1;
length range $25;
merge startyr1 finishyr1 numyr1 ;
by year;
range=startyr1||"-"||finishyr1;
events=numyr1;
if events=. then events=0;
pts_at_risk=denominatoryr1;
rate=put((events/denominatoryr1)*100,6.1);
COUNT=events;*numerator;
Total=denominatoryr1;*denominator;
SD=1.96; *1.96 for 95% CI, 1.65 for 90% CI, 0.68 for 50% CI;
obs_agreement=round(Count/Total*100,0.1);
I inherit this code and I am trying to understand it. I do not have any snippets.
