/*macro to compare whole sample and analytical samples http://www.estat.us/sas/samplecheck.txt*/ /*Documentation is not so great, so please ask me. kuekawa @ alumni.uchicago.edu . I wrote this program to compare an analytical sample versus the whole sample--for a paper that I've been doing with charles Bidwell. Often in research our analytical sample gets small because of a pattern of missing cases. We need to compare our analytical sample and the original sample, to compare means and standard deviation. Typically in education resaerch students from an analytical sample tends to be smarter and less at risk AND variances tend to be smaller. We need to show these things and talk about them. I created a hypothetical data (which came from TIMSS data). I took out some values, so it contains missing values. We are interested in the following two samples: Group 1 The data that doesn't have missing values on MAT7 and MAT8 (7th grade and 8th grade acheievment scores) VERSUS Group 2 The data that did not go into the sample above. You have to create a flag variable (coded as 0 or 10) in the follwoing way to indicate which observations belong to which group. You will get two tables. This is for the whole sample to show general information.

Sample1_0 is the data set that suffered from missing cases on a selected list of variables (MAT7 and MAT8 here), while Sample_1 is the data set that has no missing cases on those variables. TEST1 is a t-test if a variable is a continuos variable. It uses qui-sqaure test if a variable is a dummy variable. Variance Test is a test of variance equality. Whe P-value small, it means variances from the two samples are not the same. sample1 23:38 Sunday, May 22, 2005 26 sample1_ sample1_ sample1_ sample1_ sample1variance Obs variable 0mean 1mean TEST1 0stdev 1stdev Test 1 GNP14 -0.25 -0.25 0.99 0.08 0.19 0.16 2 PROP 86.50 94.83 0.43 17.99 6.40 0.05 */ data kaz; /*example data set*/ input acro $ NATION $ 6-14 NAME $ 15-33 MAT7 MAT8 GNP14 PROP NATEXAM NATSYLB NATTEXT block $; cards; aus Australi Australia 498 . -0.15526 84 0 1 0 ocea aut Austria Austria 509 539.43 -0.29163 100 0 0 1 weuro bfl Belgi_FL Belgium (Fl) . 565.18 -0.25157 100 . 1 0 weuro bfr Belgi_FR Belgium (Fr) 507 526.26 -0.25157 100 0 . 0 weuro can Canada Canada 494 527.24 0.07184 88 0 0 0 namer col Colombia Colombia 369 . -0.23699 62 0 . 0 samer cyp Cyprus Cyprus 446 473.59 -0.41906 95 0 1 . seuro csk Czech Czech Republic 523 563.75 -0.34840 86 0 1 0 eeuro dnk Denmark Denmark . 502.29 -0.34057 100 1 0 0 weuro fra France France 492 537.83 . 100 0 1 0 weuro ;run; /*how to create sample indicators*/ data kaz; set kaz; sample1=0; XXX=nmiss(of MAT7 MAT8 ); if XXX=0 then sample1=1; run; /*data name here.
