For the life of me, I can't figure out how to perform pairwise comparisons in SAS following a second-order Rao-Scott chi-square test of independence. I have two categorical variables (NSEX & DEPLVL). NSEX has two levels (1 = male; 2 = female) and DEPLVL has four levels (0 = No symptoms; 1 = 1 symptom; 2 = 2-4 symptoms; 3 = 5-9 symptoms). This is complex survey data with clustering, stratification, and weighting, so I'm limited to procedures which can incorporate these elements/variables: varmethod=taylor, weight audweight, strata varstrat & cluster varunit.   I want to know if the percentage of women with: no symptoms is significantly different from the percentage of women with 1 symptom no symptoms is significantly different from the percentage of women with 2-4 symptoms no symptoms is significantly different from the percentage of women with 5-9 symptoms and 2-4 symptoms is significantly different from the percentage of women with 5-9 symptoms I also want to know if there are significant differences among men for the same set of DEPLVL comparisons. I've attached the results of the overall test of independence in the hope that it clarifies my research questions/the answers I'm trying to get at (e.g., for scenario 1 above, I want to know if 45.5227 is significantly different from 46.3432).   I'd like to use either the Rao-Scott adjusted Wald test or adjusted F-test for the pairwise comparison (for methodological consistency) with the Holm-Bonferroni multiple comparison adjustment method, but at this point, I'll take anything that gives me adjusted p-values for each of the pairs. I'm trying to avoid the regression route if possible, but I'm just about ready to accept that if it's the only way to get it done.   I should note that I'm brand new to SAS and have been trying to use an AI engine to generate code for the pairwise comparisons, so this is definitely not my area of expertise. Nor is statistics to be honest - I'm writing a dissertation for clinical psych.   Can anyone lend a hand and help me figure this out? I've been trying to figure it out for 3 weeks now and don't feel like I've made any real progress on what (I would have thought) was a pretty straightforward question/procedure. ... View more

Oh good God, please tell me there's a way to recover an accidentally deleted SAS program in SAS Studio. I've been working on a program for the last two weeks and just accidentally deleted it. There doesn't appear to be any kind of recycle bin in SAS Studio (which is completely blowing my mind, but that's another issue altogether). ... View more

Hi,   I'm brand new to the SAS environment and am trying to load/open a password protected data file in SAS but keep getting the "opening of password protected data sets is not supported" error message (see attachment). I wouldn't normally ask, but I'm getting the sense that this might be related to the version of SAS I'm using? The organization that owns the data set (the National Institute of Alcohol Use and Alcoholism - a division of the NIH) is insisting that SAS does support password protected data sets and that the issue is on my end.   So I guess I'm not sure if the issue is that SAS doesn't support password protected data files in general? That the version I'm using doesn't support them? Or something else entirely? I'm accessing SAS Studio through SAS OnDemand for Academics (Release: 3.81 - Enterprise Edition). At least I think that's the version I'm using - like I said, I'm brand new and it's a little hard to tell with all of the different versions and components of SAS that are available (version info attached as well).   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!
