FREQ Statement

The LIFETEST Procedure

FREQ Statement

FREQ variable ;

The variable in the FREQ statement identifies a variable containing the frequency of occurrence of each observation. PROC LIFETEST treats each observation as if it appeared n times, where n is the value of the FREQ variable for the observation. The FREQ statement is useful for producing life tables when the data are already in the form of a summary data set. If not an integer, the frequency value is truncated to an integer. If the frequency value is less than one, the observation is not used.
