How to work across two datasets in SAS - sas

I have two datasets described below
data1:
$restaurant $reviewers
A Tom
B Jack.Mary.Joan
C Tom.Joan
D Rose
data2 (sorted by the friends numbers):
$user $friends
Tom Joan.Mary.Jack
Jack Tom.Rose
Mary Tom
Joan Tom
The question is to calculate the overlap in the reviews of these users with the reviews of their friends.
Take an example of Tom, the restaurants Toms friends reviewed are B and C, from which C was also reviewed by Tom. So here the percentage is C/B+C = 1/2, so the overlap is 50%.
I think I need a loop to work across two datasets, but with very basic knowledge of SAS, I don't know how. Has anybody an idea?
Thank you very much.

You should try something like this.
data reviews;
infile datalines dsd dlm=",";
input restaurant $ reviewer $;
datalines;
A,Tom
B,Jack
B,Mary
B,Joan
C,Tom
C,Joan
D,Rose
;
run;
data users;
infile datalines dsd dlm=",";
input user $ friend $;
datalines;
Tom,Joan
Tom,Mary
Tom,Jack
Jack,Tom
Jack,Rose
Mary,Tom
Joan,Tom
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select t1.user
,sum(case when t3.restaurant=t2.restaurant then 1 else 0 end)/count(*) as percentage
from users t1
inner join reviews t2
on t1.user=t2.reviewer
inner join reviews t3
on t1.friend=t3.reviewer
group by t1.user
;
quit;
I did'nt get your 0,5 value for Tom, but maybe you have a mistake.
So you can adapt the code as needed.
I followed the logic from here :

How do I find the percentage of people in a group in SAS?

DATA test;

How do I find the percentage of people within each group. i.e 33.3% in group 1. 44.4% in group 2 etc....
I tried using the code below but it was not sufficient in answering my question. I believe I may have to use SQL code;
Proc FREQ data = test;
TABLE group_no;
BY group_no;
RUN;
Please let me know how to solve the issue.
Proc FREQ data = test;
TABLE group_no;
RUN;
proc means as shown by data null is the way to go. In SQL you can do as shown below.
proc sql;
select group_no,
count(group_no) *100/(select count(*) from test) as percentage format= 5.2
from test
group by group_no

Automating creation of an indicator variable in SAS

I am working with a SAS dataset that includes up to 30 medications prescribed to an individual patient. The medications are coded med1, med2 ... med30. Each medication is represented by a 5-digit character variable. Using the identifier, I can then code the name of the drug, and whether that particular medication is a topical antibiotic or a systemic antibiotic.
For each patient, I want to use all 30 medication codes to create one variable indicating whether the patient got a topical antibiotic only, a systemic antibiotic only, or both a topical and an oral antibiotic. So if any of the 30 medications is a systemic antibiotic, I want the patient coded as oral_antibiotic=1.
I currently have this code:
data want;
set have;
array meds[30] med1-med30;
if meds[i] in ('06925' '06920') then do;
penicillin=1;
oral_antibiotic=1;
end;
else if meds[i] in ('03197') then do;
neosporin=1;
topical_antibiotic=1;
end;
.... (many more do loops with many more medications)
run;
The problem is that this code creates one indicator variable instead of 30, overwriting previous information.
I think that I really need 30 indicator variables, indicating whether each of the 30 drugs is an oral or topical antibiotic, before I write code that says if any of the drugs are oral antibiotics, the patient received an oral antibiotic.
I am new to macros and would really appreciate help.
data current;
input med1 med2 med3;
cards;
'06925' '06920' '03197' ;
run;
And I want this:
data want;
input med1 topical_antibiotic1 oral_antibiotic1 med2 topical_antibiotic2 oral_antibiotic2 med3 topical_antibiotic3 oral_antibiotic3;
cards;
'06925' 0 1 '06920' 0 1 '03197' 1 0
;
run;
I think that I really need 30 indicator variables, indicating whether
each of the 30 drugs is an oral or topical antibiotic, before I write
code that says if any of the drugs are oral antibiotics, the patient
received an oral antibiotic.
That's not true. Your current approach is fine as long as you're not resetting them. You don't show us the full code, so it's hard to say, but I'm going to assume that's what is happening here.
Your loop should look like:
array med(30) med1-med30;
*set to 0 at top of the loop;
topical_antibiotic=0; oral_antibiotic=0;
do i=1 to dim(med);
if med(i) in (.....) /*list of topical codes*/ then topical_antibiotic=1;
else if med(i) in (.....) /*list of oral codes*/ then oral_antibiotic=1;
end;
This assumes that an antibiotic cannot be in both Topical/Oral groups. If it can, you need to remove the ELSE from the second IF statement.
I agree that you probably only need one indicator variable for each drug group, (medication of interest). Seems like you just want to know for each subject, "Do they have it?" This example flips the arguments of the IN operator. If you had given more example data I could have done better with this example.
data current;
infile cards missover;
array med[3] $5;
input med[*];
oral_antibotic = '069' in: med; /*Assume oral all start with '069'*/;
topical_antibotic = '03197' in med;
cards;
06925 06920 03197
06925

Look up and replace values from a separate table in SAS

Dataset HAVE includes two variables with misspelled names in them: names and friends.
Name Age Friend
Jon 11 Ann
Jon 11 Tom
Jimb 12 Egg
Joe 11 Egg
Joe 11 Anne
Joe 11 Tom
Jed 10 Ann
I have a small dataset CORRECTIONS that includes wrong_names and resolved_names.
current_names resolved_names
Jon John
Ann Anne
Jimb Jim
I need any name in names or friends in HAVE that matches a name in the wrong_names column of CORRECTIONS to get recoded to the corresponding string in resolved_name. The resulting dataset WANT should look like this:
Name Age Friend
John 11 Anne
John 11 Tom
Jim 12 Egg
Joe 11 Egg
Joe 11 Anne
Joe 11 Tom
Jed 10 Anne
In R, I could simply invoke each dataframe and vector using if_else(), but the DATA step in SAS doesn't play nicely with multiple datasets. How can I make these replacements using CORRECTIONS as a look-up table?
There are many ways to do a lookup in SAS.
First of all, however, I would suggest to de-duplicate your look-up table (for example, using PROC SORT and Data Step/Set/By) - deciding which duplicate to keep (if any exist).
As for the lookup task itself, for simplicity and learning I would suggest the following:
The "OLD SCHOOL" way - good for auditing inputs and outputs (it is easier to validate the results of a join when input tables are in the required order):
*** data to validate;
data have;
length name $10. age 4. friend $10.;
input name age friend;
datalines;
Jon 11 Ann
Jon 11 Tom
Jimb 12 Egg
Joe 11 Egg
Joe 11 Anne
Joe 11 Tom
Jed 10 Ann
run;
*** lookup table;
data corrections;
length current_names $10. resolved_names $10.;
input current_names resolved_names;
datalines;
Jon John
Ann Anne
Jimb Jim
run;
*** de-duplicate lookup table;
proc sort data=corrections nodupkey; by current_names; run;
proc sort data=have; by name; run;
data have_corrected;
merge have(in=a)
corrections(in=b rename=(current_names=name))
;
by name;
if a;
if b then do;
name=resolved_names;
end;
run;
The SQL way - which avoids sorting the have table:
proc sql;
create table have_corrected_sql as
select
coalesce(b.resolved_names, a.name) as name,
a.age,
a.friend
from work.have as a left join work.corrections as b
on a.name eq b.current_names
order by name;
quit;
NB the Coalesce() is used to replace missing resolved_names values (ie when there is no correction) with names from the have table
EDIT: To reflect Quentin's (CORRECT) comment that I'd missed the update to both name and friend fields.
Based on correcting the 2 fields, again many approaches but the essence is one of updating a value only IF it exists in the lookup (corrections) table. The hash object is pretty good at this, once you've understood it's declaration.
NB: any key fields in the Hash object need to be specified on a Length statement BEFOREHAND.
EDIT: as per ChrisJ's alternative to the Length statement declaration, and my reply (see below) - it would be better to state that key variables need to be defined BEFORE you declare the hash table.
data have_corrected;
keep name age friend;
length current_names $10.;
*** load valid names into hash lookup table;
if _n_=1 then do;
declare hash h(dataset: 'work.corrections');
rc = h.defineKey('current_names');
rc = h.defineData('resolved_names');
rc = h.defineDone();
end;
do until(eof);
set have(in=a) end=eof;
*** validate both name fields;
if h.find(key:name) eq 0 then
name = resolved_names;
if h.find(key:friend) eq 0 then
friend = resolved_names;
output;
end;
run;
EDIT: to answer the comments re ChrisJ's SQL/Update alternative
Basically, you need to restrict each UPDATE statement to ONLY those rows that have name values or friend values in the corrections table - this is done by adding another where clause AFTER you've specified the set var = (clause). See below.
NB. AFAIK, an SQL solution to your requirement will require MORE than 1 pass of both the base table & the lookup table.
The lookup/hash table, however, requires a single pass of the base table, a load of the lookup table and then the lookup actions themselves. You can see the performance difference in the log...
proc sql;
*** create copy of have table;
create table work.have_sql as select * from work.have;
*** correct name field;
update work.have_sql as u
set name = (select resolved_names
from work.corrections as n
where u.name=n.current_names)
where u.name in (select current_names from work.corrections)
;
*** correct friend field;
update work.have_sql as u
set friend = (select resolved_names
from work.corrections as n
where u.friend=n.current_names)
where u.friend in (select current_names from work.corrections)
;
quit;
Given data
*** data to validate;
data have;
length name $10. age 4. friend $10.;
input name age friend;
datalines;
Jon 11 Ann
Jon 11 Tom
Jimb 12 Egg
Joe 11 Egg
Joe 11 Anne
Joe 11 Tom
Jed 10 Ann
run;
*** lookup table;
data corrections;
length from_name $10. to_name $10.;
input from_name to_name;
datalines;
Jon John
Ann Anne
Jimb Jim
run;
One SQL alternative is to perform a existent mapping select look up on each field to be mapped. This would be counter to joining the corrections table one time for each field to be mapped.
proc sql;
create table want1 as
select
case when exists (select * from corrections where from_name=name)
then (select to_name from corrections where from_name=name)
else name
end as name
, age
, case when exists (select * from corrections where from_name=friend)
then (select to_name from corrections where from_name=friend)
else friend
end as friend
from
have
;
Another, SAS only way, to perform inline left joins is to use a custom format.
data cntlin;
set corrections;
retain fmtname '$cohen'; /* the fixer */
rename from_name=start to_name=label;
run;
proc format cntlin=cntlin;
run;
data want2;
set have;
name = put(name,$cohen.);
friend = put(friend,$cohen.);
run;
You can use an UPDATE in proc sql :
proc sql ;
update have a
set name = (select resolved_names b from corrections where a.name = b.current_names)
where name in(select current_names from corrections)
;
update have a
set friend = (select resolved_names b from corrections where a.friend = b.current_names)
where friend in(select current_names from corrections)
;
quit ;
Or, you could use a format :
/* Create format */
data current_fmt ;
retain fmtname 'NAMEFIX' type 'C' ;
set resolved_names ;
start = current_names ;
label = resolved_names ;
run ;
proc format cntlin=current_fmt ; run ;
/* Apply format */
data want ;
set have ;
name = put(name ,$NAMEFIX.) ;
friend = put(friend,$NAMEFIX.) ;
run ;
Try this:
proc sql;
create table want as
select p.name,p.age,
case
when q.current_names is null then p.friend
else q.resolved_names
end
as friend1
from
(
select
case
when b.current_names is null then a.name
else b.resolved_names
end
as name,
a.age,a.friend
from
have a
left join
corrections b
on upcase(a.name) = upcase(b.current_names)
) p
left join
corrections q
on upcase(p.friend) = upcase(q.current_names);
quit;
Output:
name age friend

SAS- Calculate Top Percent of Population

I am trying to seek some validation, this may be trivial for most but I am by no means an expert at statistics. I am trying to select patients in the top 1% based on a score within each drug and location. The data would look something like this (on a much larger scale):
Patient drug place score
John a TX 12
Steven a TX 10
Jim B TX 9
Sara B TX 4
Tony B TX 2
Megan a OK 20
Tom a OK 10
Phil B OK 9
Karen B OK 2
The code snipit I have written to calculate those top 1% patients is as follows:
proc sql;
create table example as
select *,
score/avg(score) as test_measure
from prior_table
group by drug, place
having test_measure>.99;
quit;
Does this achieve what I am trying to do, or am going about it all wrong? Sorry if this is really trivial to most.
Thanks
There are multiple ways to calculate and estimate a percentile. A simple way is to use PROC SUMMARY
proc summary data=have;
var score;
output out=pct p99=p99;
run;
This will create a data set named pct with a variable p99 containing the 99th percentile.
Then filter your table for values >=p99
proc sql noprint;
create table want as
select a.*
from have as a
where a.score >= (select p99 from pct);
quit;

Compare each row of one dataset with another dataset

Just a general question lets say I have two datasets called dataset1 and dataset2 and If I want to compare the rows of dataset1 with the complete dataset2 so essentially compare each row of dataset1 with dataset2. Below is just an example of the two datasets
Dataset1
EmployeeID Name Employeer
12345 John Microsoft
1234567 Alice SAS
1234565 Jim IBM
Dataset1
EmployeeID2 Name DateAbsent
12345 John 25/06/2009
12345 John 26/06/2009
1234567 Alice 27/06/2010
1234567 Alice 30/06/2011
1234567 Alice 2/8/2012
12345 John 28/06/2009
12345 John 25/07/2009
12345 John 25/08/2009
1234565 Jim 26/08/2009
1234565 Jim 27/08/2010
1234565 Jim 28/08/2011
1234565 Jim 29/08/2012
I have written some programming logic its not sas code, this is just my logic
for item in dataset1:
for item2 in dataset2:
if item.EmployeeID=item2.EmployeeID2 and item.Name=item2.Name then output newSet
This is an inner join.
proc sql noprint;
create table output as
select a.EmployeeId,
a.Name,
a.Employeer,
b.DateAbsent
from dataset1 as a
inner join
dataset2 as b
on a.EmployeeID = b.EmployeeID2
and a.Name = b.name;
quit;
I recommend reading the SAS documentation on PROC SQL if you are unfamiliar with the syntax
To do this in a Data step, the data sets need to be sorted by the variables to join on (or indexed). Also the variable names need to be the same, so I will assume both variables are EmployeeID.
/*sort*/
proc sort data=dataset1;
by EmployeeID Name;
run;
proc sort data=dataset2;
by EmployeeID Name;
run;
data output;
merge dataset1 (in=ds1) dataset2 (inds2);
by EmployeeID Name;
if ds1 and ds2;
run;
The data step does the loop for you. It needs sorted sets because it only takes 1 pass over the data sets. The if clause checks to make sure you are getting a value from both data sets.
Is your goal to compare the two dataset and see where there are differences? Proc Compare will do this for you. You can compare specific columns or the entire dataset.
