Homework 5 (36 pts)

Name: CHANDANA SAI CHIDRALA

Files needed
1. Nines.sas7bdat

Things to do:
1. Answer the problems below using SAS. You should put all answers in this word
document.
2. Save all your code in the sections marked finished code
3. Use comments before each section/problem in the SAS Code file (proc procedure)
a. For example:
*Problem 1 – Using the PROC Freq procedure;
Or /* Problem 1 – Using Proc freq */
4. Also use Titles for each procedure that sends output to the output window – Comments
and titles are different (I would like both)
a. For example:
Title “Problem 1 – Using proc Contents”;

Problems

1. Run the program below in the Unfinished Code section. Add the following to the data step:
(10 pts)
a. Use “do groups” to add the variables “PulseGroup” and “SBPGroup”, with the
following criteria:
i. For ages less than 50 years of age:
1. If Pulse is less than 70, set PulseGroup equal to ‘Low’
2. Otherwise, set PulseGroup equal to ‘High’
3. If SBP is less than 130, set SBPGroup equal to ‘Low’
4. Otherwise, set SBPGroup equal to ‘High’
ii. For ages greater than or equal to 50 years of age:
1. If Pulse is less than 74, set PulseGroup equal to ‘Low’
2. Otherwise, set PulseGroup equal to ‘High’
3. If SBP is less than 140, set SBPGroup equal to ‘Low’
4. Otherwise, set SBPGroup equal to ‘High’
Final dataset should look like this

2. Merge the datasets (runners & results) by “ID” into a new dataset called “Two” in the HW
library. You will need to adjust the input statements first. Also do the following: (10 pts)

a. Create a variable called dob (date of birth) using the variables mth, day, & year to
create a date variable (you need another sas function for this).
b. Reduce this data set to only those people that have race results.
c. Create a new variable called avg which is the average of race1, race2 & race3.
Use the mean() function for this. Also round this new variable to 1 decimal place.
d. Create another variable called age which is the age today for each person. Have
the age stored as an integer (no decimals)
e. Drop the variables mth, day, and yr in the final data set.
f. Fill in the table below:

Name Avg Age

Steve 10.4 65
John 10.7 33
Susan 11.3 22
Danny 11.9 57

3. Create a data set called “Three” with the following specifics: (8 pts)
a. First create a macro variable called “Start” and have it equal to 1.
b. Next create another macro variable called “end” and have it equal to 10.
c. Then create the data set using a do loop with the start and end macro variables as
the starting and ending points of the do loop.
d. In the do loop, create four variables
i. Var1 from a uniform distribution with a seed of 100
ii. Var2 from a uniform distribution with a seed of 100
iii. Var3 from a standard normal distribution with a seed of 101
iv. Var4 from a standard normal distribution with a seed of 101
