I'm trying to come out a series of normal distribution and tested by Shapiro-Wilks test. The code is as below:
DATA RAND;
DO J=0 TO 9;
CALL STREAMINIT(123);
DO i=1 to 50;
X=Rand("normal",1.5+0.001*j,0.3);
OUTPUT;
END;
END;
RUN;
/*************************************************
*input = dataset to check;
*vars = Specify variable(s) for which you want to check normality;
*output = dataset to output with normality status;
**************************************************/
%macro normal(input=, vars=, output=);
ods output TestsForNormality = Normal;
proc univariate data = &input normal;
var &vars;
run;
ods output close;
data &output;
set Normal ( where = (Test = 'Shapiro-Wilk'));
if pValue > 0.05 then Status ="Normal";
else Status = "Non-normal";
drop TestLab Stat pType pSign;
run;
%mend;
%normal(input=RAND, vars=X, output=Normality);
But the output data set is only one item by one Varname X from 500 data, not for j between 0 and 9 and from 50 data. Thank you if you can support.
Hi,
A small change in your macro code will generate the desired results. Just add by statement in proc univariate.
proc univariate data = &input normal;
var &vars;
by j;
run;
