I have computed the change from baselines for subjects in each of 2 groups. I would like to compute the median difference (and confidence interval) between the 2 groups for this change score. What procedure will do this?

Thanks.

You can get the median from PROCs MEANS, SUMMARY, or UNIVARIATE, among others. The usual confidence interval for a median is the 25th and 75th percentile.

Search for "Keywords and Formulas" on support.sas.com to get the 9.2 descriptions of where you can get what basic statistics.

The Hodges Lehmann estimate is available in SAS 9.2 in PROC NPAR1WAY, including exact confidence intervals.

Thank you - this is exactly what I was looking for (since I'm still using version 9.1).
