AHGarea_grp Macro - Calculation of Sum of Squares by Group

This code is also available in: Deutsch Español Français
This macro uses PROC SQL to perform a two-step statistical calculation, typical of analysis of variance (ANOVA). First, it aggregates data by the specified group variable (`gname`), calculating the square of the sum of the target variable (`vname`) and the number of observations (`c`) for each group. Then, it sums these ratios (`sums/c`) for all groups and stores the final scalar result in a specified macro variable (`vout`).
Data Analysis

Type : EXTERNAL


The dataset to be analyzed is passed dynamically as a macro parameter via the `indset` argument.

1 Code Block
PROC SQL
Explanation :
Defines the %AHGarea_grp macro. It executes a nested SQL query: the inner query calculates intermediate statistics by group, and the outer query aggregates these results into a global or local macro variable depending on the call context.
