I have 10 questions from a survey. Each question has possible values 1-5.
I would like to create the following subscale averages:
questions 1, 2
questions 3, 4, 5
questions 6, 7, 8, 9
questions 10
So, this means there would be a total of 4 means (mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4).
Does anyone know how to do this with proc sql?
Thank you.
data foo;
call streaminit(12345);
array q[10];
do id=1 to 100;
do i=1 to 10;
q=abs(mod(int(rand('CAUCHY')*10),10));
end;
output;
end;
drop i;
run;
proc sql;
select avg(q1+q2)/2 as avg1, avg(q3+q4+q5)/3 as avg2, avg(q6+q7+q8+q9)/4 as avg3, avg(q10) as avg4 from foo;
quit;
What does your data look like? and what output do you want?
