The SCORE Procedure

Example 76.3 Custom Scoring Coefficients

This example uses a specially created custom scoring data set and produces Output 76.3.1 and Output 76.3.2. The first scoring coefficient creates a variable that is AgeWeight; the second scoring coefficient evaluates the variable RunPulseRstPulse; and the third scoring coefficient totals all six variables. Since the scoring coefficients data set (data set A) does not contain any observations with _TYPE_=’MEAN’ or _TYPE_=’STD’, the data in the Fitness data set (see Example 76.1) are not standardized before scoring.

The following statements produce Output 76.3.1 and Output 76.3.2:

   data A;
      input _type_ $ _name_ $
            Age Weight RunTime RunPulse RestPulse;
      datalines;
   SCORE  AGE_WGT  1 -1  0  0  0
   SCORE  RUN_RST  0  0  0  1 -1
   SCORE  TOTAL    1  1  1  1  1
   ;
   proc print data=A;
      title 'CONSTRUCTED SCORING EXAMPLE';
      title2 'Scoring Coefficients';
   run;
   
   proc score data=Fitness score=A out=B;
      var Age Weight RunTime RunPulse RestPulse;
   run;
   
   proc print data=B;
      title2 'Scored Data';
   run;
