I have a set of data organized like this:
ID Date Return
A 1/1/2001 .01
A 2/1/2001 .005
.. … …
A 12/1/2001 -.001
B 1/1/2001 .009
B 2/1/2001 .015
… … …
B 12/1/2001 -.005
C 1/1/2001 .007
C 2/1/2001 .005
.. … …
C 12/1/2001 .002
I would like my output to show a matrix of ‘Return’ correlations along with p-values
A B C
A 1.00 .778 .562
(p val) (p val) (p val)
B .778 1.00 .342
(p val) (p val) (p val)
C .562 .342 1.00
(p val) (p val) (p val)
I can’t figure out how to do this with proc corr. The code I tried was this:
proc corr data = ReturnsByID;
var return;
by id;
ods output pearsonCorr = RetCorrMat;
run;
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Then Change your data structure to fit the PROC CORR .
data have;
input ID $ Date : mmddyy10. Return;
format date mmddyy10.;
cards;
A 1/1/2001 .01
A 2/1/2001 .005
A 12/1/2001 -.001
B 1/1/2001 .009
B 2/1/2001 .015
B 12/1/2001 -.005
C 1/1/2001 .007
C 2/1/2001 .005
C 12/1/2001 .002
;
proc sort data=have out=temp;
by date;
run;
proc transpose data=temp out=want;
by date;
var return;

proc corr data=want;
