Hello,

 

I have a 4 by 2 frequency table:

BMI groupscat 1cat 2
underweight1.41.6
normal67.271.2
overweight23.721.6
obese7.75.6

 

Is there a way to obtain a p-value for significant difference for each BMI group when comparing cat 1 vs cat 2?

 

Thank you,

Justin

Your data is not COUNT data. I suppose just to use ANOVA ?

infile cards expandtabs;
input BMI  : $40. cat1 cat2;
cards;
underweight 1.4 1.6
normal 67.2 71.2
overweight 23.7 21.6
obese 7.7 5.6
;
data temp;
 set have;
 cat='cat1';v=cat1;output;
 cat='cat2';v=cat2;output;
 drop cat1 cat2;
run;
proc glm data=temp;
class bmi cat;
model v=bmi cat/solution;
quit;

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.
