The MULTTEST Procedure

Example 43.2: Freeman-Tukey and t-Tests with Bootstrap Resampling

The data for the following example are the same as for Example 43.1, except that a continuous variable T has been added.

   proc multtest data=a bootstrap nsample=10000
                 pvals seed=37081 outsamp=res;
      test ft(S1 S2 / lowertailed) mean(T / lowertailed);
      class Dose;
      contrast 'Linear Trend' 0 1 2;
   run;

   proc print data=res(obs=36);
   run;

The BOOTSTRAP option in the PROC MULTTEST statement requests bootstrap resampling, and NSAMPLE=10000 requests 10,000 bootstrap samples. The seed for the random number generation is 37081. The OUTSAMP=RES option requests an output SAS data set containing the 10,000 bootstrap samples.

The TEST statement specifies the Freeman-Tukey test for S1 and S2 and specifies the t-test for T. Both tests are lower-tailed. The grouping variable in the CLASS statement is Dose, and the coefficients across the levels of Dose are 0, 1, and 2, as specified in the CONTRAST statement. PROC PRINT displays the first 36 observations of the Res data set containing the bootstrap samples.

The results from this analysis are listed in Output 43.2.1.

The preceding table shows the coefficients from the CONTRAST statement, and they model a linear trend.

T 3 6 72.8333 22.7017


The summary statistics in the preceding table for S1 and S2 are the same as those from Example 43.1. The variables S1 and S2 are discrete, and T is a continuous variable. The mean, standard deviation, and sample size for each level of Dose is listed in the table for T. The p-values for S1 and S2 are from the Freeman-Tukey test, and the p-values for T are from the t-test.

p-Values
Variable Contrast Raw Bootstrap
S1 Linear Trend 0.8547 1.0000
S2 Linear Trend 0.1453 0.4471
T Linear Trend 0.0070 0.0253


The p-values are listed in the preceding table. The Raw column contains the results from the tests on the original data, and the Bootstrap column contains the bootstrap resampled adjustment to raw_p. Note that the adjusted p-values are larger than the raw p-values for all three variables. The adjusted p-values more accurately reflect the correlation of the raw p-values, the small size of the data, and the multiple testing.

The preceding table lists the first 36 observations of the SAS data set resulting from the OUTSAMP=RES option in the PROC MULTTEST statement. The entire data set has 180,000 observations. The _sample_ variable is the sample indicator and _class_ indicates the resampling group, that is, the level of the CLASS variable assigned to the new observation. The number of the observation in the original data set is represented by _obs_. Also listed are the values of the original test variables, S1 and S2, and the mean-centered values of T.
