The MULTTEST Procedure

The output produced by PROC MULTTEST is divided into several tables:

The "Model Information" table provides a list of the options and settings used for that particular invocation of the procedure. Included in this list are the following items:

-
statistical tests
-
support of the exact permutation distribution for the CA and PETO tests

-
continuity corrections used for the CA test

-
test tails

-
strata adjustment

-
p-value adjustments

-
centering of continuous variables

-
number of samples and seed
The "Contrast Coefficients" table lists the coefficients used in constructing the statistical tests. These coefficients are either specified in CONTRAST statements or generated by default. The coefficients apply to the levels of the CLASS statement variable.
The "Variable Tabulations" tables provide summary statistics for each variable listed in the TEST statement. Included for discrete variables are the count, sample size, and percentage of occurrences. For continuous variables, the mean, sample standard deviation, and sample size are displayed. All of the previously mentioned statistics are computed for distinct combinations of the CLASS and STRATA statement variables.
The "p-Values" table is a collection of the raw and adjusted p-values from this run of PROC MULTTEST. The p-values are listed by variable and test.
