* chapter_3_table_7_and_9 The data set analyzed to replicate Chapter 3 Tables 7 and 9 consist of the number of drinks per week at a nine month follow-up for participants in five different therapy groups. The purpose of this data set is to assess the likelihood of the assumptions of the parametric statistical tests (in this case the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance). This data set is also of interest in order to explore potential transformations (e.g., the log transformation), such that the parametric assumptions may be more satisfied. Here we use PROC MEANS in order to replicate Tables 3.7 and 3.9. Note that the medianfor 'T1 CRA-D' (i.e., Group 1 in the Output) should be 10.98, not 11.89 as is listed in Table 3.9. In addition, the kurtosis for 'T2 CRA-D' (i.e., Group 4 in the Output) in the book should be 2.78, not 1.06 as is listed in Table 3.9. ; LIBNAME md 'd:\data files by type\sas data files\tables'; DATA c3t79; SET md.chapter_3_table_7_and_9_raw_data; PROC MEANS DATA=c3t79 MEAN N MEDIAN MIN MAX STD SKEWNESS KURTOSIS; CLASS group; RUN;
