Hi!
I'm just wondering if there is any other way of extracting "robust means" and "robust sigmas" of multiple units/rows, other than from individual Distribution >> Summary Statistics.
I'm looking on a tabulated form similar to Cols >> Columns viewer >> Summary statistics
Thanks!
Thanks @PaigeMiller
I figured there is no other way but to do the computation.
1. Quartiles can be enabled in Summary Statistics; Columns View >>> Show Quartiles
Will Show MEDIAN, LOWER QUARTILE and UPPER QUARTILE
2. From here;
Robust mean = Median
Robust Std Dev = (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile)/1.35
Sample from Columns Viewer
PROC UNIVARIATE can compute trimmed means and robust estimates of scale for columns (variables) in a SAS data step.
I am not aware of a way to do this for "multiple units/rows", but you could transpose your rows into columns and then run PROC UNIVARIATE.
Thanks @PaigeMiller

But there are other ways to do this in SAS. PROC UNIVARIATE can compute robust means and robust variances, which are different than what you explain.
