Sorry--the formatting came out strange. It should have read: I am attempting to find the correlations of 8 variables from a data set of multiply imputed data. I'm fine creating the data set, however I do not understand the example for finding correlations with PROC MIANALYZE on the SAS site. The syntax they provide is: proc corr data=outmi out=outcorr; var Oxygen RunTime; by _Imputation_; run; proc print data=outcorr (obs=10); title ’Correlations (First Two Imputations)’; run; data ztrans(type=EST); set outcorr (drop= RunTime rename= Oxygen= Z); if (_type_ = ’N’ or _name_ = ’RunTime’); if (_type_ = ’CORR’) then do; _type_= ’PARMS’; _name_=’’; Z= 0.5 * log((1+Z)/(1-Z)); end; else if (_type_ = ’N’) then do; _type_=’COVB’; _name_=’Z’; Z= 1. / (Z-3); end; run; proc print data=ztrans; title ’EST Type Data Set with Fisher’’s Z Transformation’; run; proc mianalyze data=ztrans; ods output ParmEst=parms; var z; run; I do not understand the syntax following "data ztrans"--I understand that it is a Fisher's Z transformation, but I can't figure out how to write this for my data. Specifically, I do not understand the syntax: set outcorr (drop= RunTime rename= Oxygen= Z); if (_type_ = ’N’ or _name_ = ’RunTime’); 'Oxygen' and 'Runtime' are the only variables in the example data set. How would I re-write this syntax for a dataset with 8 variables? I cannot figure this out, and I can't run PROC MIANALYZE without first running this piece of syntax. Has anyone dealt with this problem?
