Hello, I have successfully managed to run 2 spearman correlations for 2 independent samples looking at the same variables. I am, however, having trouble using Fisher's z test in order to compare these 2 groups. Below is the syntax and error messages I am receiving. data five ; merge WSW keep=Nobs ZVal ---- 22 201 rename=(Nobs=n1 ZVal=z1)) ------- 22 22 201 76 ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, a quoted string, (, -, :, ;, END, _DATA_, _LAST_,_NULL_. ERROR 201-322: The option is not recognized and will be ignored. ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored. WSM keep=Nobs ZVal rename=(Nobs=n2 ZVal=z2)); variance = 1/(n1-3) + 1/(n2-3); z = (z1 - z2) / sqrt( variance ); pval = probnorm(z); if (pval > 0.5) then pval = 1 - pval; pval = 2*pval; run; NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors Please help!
