Evidence revealing identical solutions will be considered cheating and students will receive an F for the term grade. • All the exam contents are related to the lecture notes. There is more than one way to solve each problem. However, you must use what you’ve learned from this class to solve the problems; otherwise, you will receive 0 credit. • I will not provide any hints for this final exam.

Your SAS code ... /* Question 2 */ ... Your SAS code ... ... ... ... /* Question 5 */ ... Your SAS code ... 1 Final Assignment Problem 1 (7 points) You will use two data sets: geocode.sas7bdat and households.sas7bdat. These data sets were originally downloaded from the US Census Bureau.

The description of these two data sets is listed below: geocode.sas7bdat: VARIABLE TYPE DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE GEOID CHAR 9 - digit Geography Code 04000US34 STATE CHAR State Name New Jersey households.sas7bdat: VARIABLE TYPE DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE GEOID NUM 1- or 2-digit Geography Code 34 TOTHOUSE NUM Total Households UNMARRIED NUM Total Unmarried-Partner Households 151318 The data set geocode.sas7bdat contains 51 observations and the data set households contains 52 observa- tions. For this problem, you will need to create one single data set that contains the variables STATE, GEOID (in 1- or 2-digits), TOTHOUSE, and UNMARRIED, and only contains observations that occur from both data sets. Notice that the last two digits from the 9-digit geography code are the same as the 2-digit geography codes.

When you combine these two data sets, be careful about the variable type. The first five observations of your final data set should look similar to the one below: The SAS System Obs state id tothouse unmarried 1 Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Final Assignment Problem 2 (8 points) You will use the base.sas7bdat for this problem. Here are the complete observations of the data set: Obs ID SBP visit_time trtmt_time /13//15//30//15//13//15//15//15//05//05//05//05//09//05//30//05/2013 In the BASE data set, the variable VISIT TIME is the visiting time. Please keep it in mind that the visiting time is not properly ordered in the data set. TRTMT TIME is the treatment time or the baseline measurement time.

SBP is the systolic blood pressures that are measured at each visiting time. Based on this data set, create the following two variables: • B SBP: contains the SBP value at the treatment time. For SBP that is measured before the treatment time, B SBP will be set to missing. • C SBP: the difference between the current SBP measurement and the baseline SBP measurement. For SBP that was measured before treatment date or on the treatment date, C SBP will be set to missing. The final data set should look similar to the one below: Obs ID SBP visit_time trtmt_time b_sbp c_sbp /13//15/2013 . . /15//15/ . /13//15//30//15//05//05/2013 . . /30//05/2013 . . /05//05/ . /09//05/ Final Assignment Problem 3 (6 points) Write a macro named impute_num, which is used to replace the missing numeric value of a variable with either the mean or the median value of this variable.

The macro takes four arguments: dat : the name of the data set. var name : the name of the numeric variable that you want to impute. method : you can use either mean or median for its value. If you specify mean, the macro will use the mean value to replace the missing value. Similarly, if you specify median, the macro will use the median value. Set the default value to mean. result : you can use either var only or all for its value. Using var only means you only need to keep the newly-imputed variable in the result data.

Using all means you need to keep the newly-imputed variable in the result in addition to all the variables from in the input data. Set the default value to var only. Also you need to add new as suffix for the newly-imputed variable name. For example, if you are imputing the variable HDL, the newly-imputed variable name will be HDLnew. The following example imputes HDL variable by replacing the missing value with the mean of HDL.

Only the newly-imputed variable HDLnew is kept in the output data. %impute_num(dat=patients, var_name=HDL) The SAS System Obs HDLnew 1 32.......... Final Assignment The following example imputes TGL variable by replacing the missing value with the median of TGL. The output data contains all the variables from the original data plus the newly-imputed variable TGLnew. %impute_num(dat=patients, var_name=TGL, method=median, result=all) The SAS System Obs ID GLUC TGL HDL LDL HRT MAMM SMOKE TGLnew 1 A 88 . 32 99 Y ever B . 150 60 . no never C 110 . .

190 N no J 90 . 75 . yes never Final Assignment Problem 4 (6 points) Write a macro named impute_freq, which is used to replace the missing value of a variable (numeric or character) with the value of the highest frequency of this variable. The macro takes three arguments: dat : the name of the data set. var name : the name of the variable that you want to impute. result : you can use either var only or all for its value. Using var only means you only need to keep the newly-imputed variable in the result. Using all means you need to keep the newly-imputed variable in the result in addition to all the variables from in the input data.

Set the default value to var only. Also you need to add new as suffix for the newly-imputed variable name. For example, if you are imputing the variable smoke, the newly-imputed variable name will be smokenew. The following example imputes smoke variable by replacing the missing value with the most frequent value of the smoke. Only the newly-imputed variable smokenew is kept in the output data. %impute_freq(dat=patients, var_name=smoke) The SAS System Obs smokenew 1 ever 2 never 3 never 4 never 5 never 6 ever 7 never 8 ever 9 never 10 never 6 Final Assignment The following example imputes HRT variable by replacing the missing value with the most frequent value of the HRT.

The output data contains all the variables from the original data plus the newly-imputed variable HRTnew. %impute_freq(dat=patients, var_name=HRT, result=all) The SAS System Obs ID GLUC TGL HDL LDL HRT MAMM SMOKE HRTnew 1 A 88 . 32 99 Y ever Y 2 B . 150 60 . no never Y 3 C 110 . . 120 N N 4 D . yes never Y 5 E 90 210 . 150 Y never Y 6 F 88 .

The macro takes four arguments: dat : the name of the data set. num vars : the name(s) of one or more numeric variables. For this group of variable, you need to replace the missing values with either the mean or the median values. method : you can use either mean or median for its value. If you specify mean, the macro will use the mean value to replace the missing value. Similarly, if you specify median, the macro will use the median value. Set the default value to mean. freq vars : the name(s) of the one or more variables.

You want to replace the missing values with the value of the highest frequency. Please make sure the result data will contains all the newly-imputed variable in addition to all the variables from in the input data. Please test all the macro calls below to ensure your macro works properly. The following macro call imputes HRT variable with the most frequent value of the HRT. %impute(dat=patients, freq_vars=HRT) The SAS System Obs ID GLUC TGL HDL LDL HRT MAMM SMOKE HRTnew 1 A 88 . 32 99 Y ever Y 2 B .
