Statistical programming in SAS with an emphasis on SAS/IML programs
Sometimes SAS programmers ask about how to analyze quantiles with SAS. Common questions include: How can I compute 95% confidence intervals for a median in SAS? How can I test whether the medians of two independent samples are significantly different? How can I repeat the previous analyses with other percentiles,
Many introductory courses in probability and statistics encourage students to collect and analyze real data. A popular experiment in categorical data analysis is to give students a bag of M&M® candies and ask them to estimate the proportion of colors in the population from the sample data. In some classes,
A categorical response variable can take on k different values. If you have a random sample from a multinomial response, the sample proportions estimate the proportion of each category in the population. This article describes how to construct simultaneous confidence intervals for the proportions as described in the 1997 paper
