Computing Frequency Distributions
Lesson Overview


Introduction

Frequency tables show the distribution of variable values, both as percentages of a total and as counts of data. SAS software's FREQ procedure creates one-way frequency tables and two-way and n-way crosstabulation tables. It can also compute measures of association and of agreement, and organize output by stratification variables. The following lesson will show you how to use PROC FREQ to perform basic data analysis.


Product Frequency Percent Cumulative
Frequency
Cumulative
Percent
Apples 92 58.60 92 58.60
Oranges 65 41.40 157 100.00


This lesson contains 23 pages and takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.
