The FREQ Procedure

Procedure Syntax

Tip:	Supports the Output Delivery System (see Chapter 2, "Fundamental Concepts for Using Base SAS Procedures")
Reminder:	You can use the FORMAT, LABEL, and WHERE statements. See Statements with the Same Function in Multiple Procedures for details. You can also use any global statements as well. See Global Statements for a list.

PROC FREQ <option(s)>;

BY <DESCENDING> variable-1 <...<DESCENDING> variable-n> <NOTSORTED>;

EXACT statistic-keyword(s) </ option(s)>;

OUTPUT statistic-keyword(s) <OUT=SAS-data-set>;

TABLES request(s) </ option(s)>;

TEST statistic-keyword(s);

WEIGHT variable;

To do this Use this statement

Calculate separate frequency or crosstabulation tables for each BY group BY

Request exact tests for specified statistics EXACT

Create an output data set that contains specified statistics OUTPUT

Specify frequency or crosstabulation tables and request tests and measures of association TABLES

Request asymptotic tests for measures of association and agreement TEST

Identify a variable whose values weight each observation WEIGHT
