Answer: You can conduct multiple regression analysis on NHANES using SAS Survey Procedures. However, you need to be mindful that version 9.1 of SAS Survey Procedures does not have a domain statement for subpopulation analyses. Therefore, you have to use a macro provided on the SAS website. You need to download that file, save it to your computer, and make sure to note the location, as you will use SAS code to refer to this file later. In SAS version 9.

Answer: The Continuous NHANES files are in SAS transport file format (.xpt). They can be used with any package that supports this file format. For statistical/analytical packages that do not support SAS transport file format, you need to convert the file to a different format using an appropriate software package. See similar questions...

Answer: For SUDAAN procedures it is important that you do not create a smaller subgroup based on any non weight-related groups of interest (e.g. demographic, laboratory or examination variables) in the SAS data step before executing the SUDAAN procedure. Instead, it is highly recommended that you create a subset of your sample population using the subpopn statement in the SUDAAN procedure itself and not in the SAS data step. See similar questions...

Answer: Both SAS Survey procedures (proc surveymeans) and SUDAAN version 9.1 (proc descript) produce 95% confidence intervals (CI). These 95% CIs are calculated using the Wald method, which is based on a t-statistic for the number of degrees of freedom in the entire NHANES sample. However, they do not correct for the reduction in the degrees of freedom in subdomains where not all strata and PSUs are represented. See similar questions...

Ultra320 SCSI has been released allowing for a 320MB/sec data transfer rate. The SCSI specifications allow for the future release of Ultra640 as well doubling the transfer rate again. Ultra 640 is however will not eventuate due to issues with "data skewing" and the release of Serial Attached SCSI. The release of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) overcomes the problem of "skewing" of parallel data bits on the cable by running all communications via a Serial interface. See similar questions...

SAS use a variety of campaign tactics to influence decision makers in creating recreational waters free from pollution. We carry out peaceful, but hard-hitting actions to generate campaign momentum, use supportive politicians to help us in the corridors of power, and need the likes of YOU to build on that support by signing campaign postcards or writing letters.

SAS are a non-profit making organisation campaigning for cleaner, safer recreational water. We receive no government support and SAS funds come from individual membership subscriptions, the selling of SAS merchandise, SAS fundraising events such as the SAS Ball and sponsorship from companies looking to put back some of their profits into environmentally friendly initiatives. In addition to these, many SAS members organise their own events and donate the proceeds. See similar questions...

Firstly, become an SAS member! This provides us with much-needed funds and the more members we have, the bigger voice we have to lobby for change. Click here to JOIN Let us know of any pollution problems in your area. We rely heavily on being kept informed by our members around the country. The sooner we know about a problem, the more SAS will be able to help. Volunteer your time. Most of the help we need is based at our St Agnes office, but we also need help at some of our actions.

Answer: At the present time, SAS proc surveymeans does not have an option to produce geometric means and their standard errors. However, they can be obtained by running proc surveymeans on the log transformed variables to produce means and standard errors of the log transformed variable, constructing the confidence interval on the log-transformed scale, and then back transforming the endpoints.

the upper quartile (Q3) is the ¼(3n+1)th observation When ¼(n+3), ½(n+1) and ¼(3n+1) are not integers, linear interpolation is used. This is Method 1 of Freund, J and Perles, B (1987) "A New Look at Quartiles of Ungrouped Data", The American Statistician, 41, 3, 200-203. See similar questions...

Answer: On the electronic version of the survey only, you will need to select either "Wipe-FO" for units of fluid ounces, or "Wipe-WO" for weight ounces. Question: The database gives me an error message that I have a "blank field" and it won't let me exit the form. Answer: Go to the blank field blank field indicated in the error message and check if there is a blank line in the data. If there is, highlight the whole line by clicking to the far left of the line.

quot;A percentile is a value at or below which a given percentage or fraction of the variable values lie. For a set of measurements arranged in order of magnitude, the p-th percentile is the value that has p% of the measurements below it and (100-p)% above it. Thus, the 20th percentile is the value such that one fifth of the data lie below it. It is higher than 20% of the data values and lower than 80% of the data values. See similar questions...

SWS (Safety Warning System) was a system devised to alert motorists of potential road hazards. SWS transmitters can trigger one of 64 pre-programmed alert messages in a receiving unit (radar detector). Unfortunately, use of the system is not very widespread. The best evidence is that "Some 200 transmitters are in use in 33 states". SAS (Safety Alert System) is another hazard alert system designed by Cobra, and used only in Cobra radar detectors.

Participants in the Spoleto Writers' Workshop tend to be serious adult writers. Ages have ranged from 20-86. Some writers have already published or completed writing degrees, but many are aspiring amateurs who show promise but have no formal background. Some are eager to learn new approaches or would like to write in a new genre. Most want inspirational time and teaching in a new setting, and time to work on their own. See similar questions...
