Hi all,

I need to run a pretty large multinomial comparison. I have a list of 2,000 different medicines, and I have computed their frequency "pre" and "post" (relative to a change in the experiment). I want to do a Pearson's test to see which of these medicines have significantly different proportional representations in the "post" sample.

So, my data look like:

Drug:     Pre:     Post:

A          x1%         y1%

B          x2%          y2%

...

If I had a smaller list -- say 3 medicines -- I would use:

PROC FREQ data=tmp

tables drug / chisq testp=( X Y Z )

RUN;

But, I have around 2000 levels, and I don't want to type them out. I don't think proc freq can take the hypothesized values from inside the data, as I need. Is there another procedure that can handle such an input method? Or, is there a way I can batch/script this to produce the needed output?

Thanks.

Why not make a macro variable to hold these X Y Z ?

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
