You only calculate Fisher's Test when your number of records in a particular group is low, usually less than 5 or 10. Otherwise, the Chi Square Test will have the same values.     If you're trying to calculate the Fisher Score, https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.3725 That's a very different calculation/problem.      @Stacy1 wrote: I am trying to calculate the fishers score on 4 variables but it seems to be taking forever. Could it be that the code is wrong? It did not show any error in the log. Here is my code; proc freq data = &curlib..IRAOut order = data; tables CurTotal * Basetotal * CurTrans * BaseTrans / fishers; run;   Is there another way to calculate the fishers score? when I used the chisq option it did not give me the fscore.   ...

I know how to calculate the z score, the only problem I have is to make it a function that can be reused. proc fcmp outlib = ztest.test; function get_z(length, horsepower , mpg_city); proc standard data = test mean = 0 std = 1 out = z_test; var length horsepower mpg_city; run; I am not aware that functions in PROC FCMP can include SAS PROC statements.   What is wrong with simply using PROC STDIZE to obtain both the original variables and the zscore in a single data set? I don't see a need for a function/subroutine/macro to do this. ... View more
