Role Name
Description
Roles
Dependent variable
specifies the column to use as the dependent variable.
Classification variable
defines the subgroups. Separate analyses are performed for each subgroup. You can specify whether to treat missing values as a valid level.
Additional Roles
Frequency count
lists a numeric variable whose value represents the frequency of the observation. If you assign a variable to this role, the task assumes that each observation represents n observations, where n is the value of the frequency variable. If n is not an integer, SAS truncates it. If n is less than 1 or is missing, the observation is excluded from the analysis. The sum of the frequency variable represents the total number of observations.
Group analysis by
enables you to obtain separate analyses of observations for each unique group.
