Generating Data With the SAS@ Dataset Andrew J. L. Cary Cary Consulting Services, Newark CA Abstract Dependent data models can model almost any situation. Data can be generated that are time It is often necessary to create data to test a dependent such as patient weights or stock program or methodology. The SAS software prices. They can also generate data from system’s data step and random number related single point values such as body generating functions provide a powerful weight and height or gender and weight. toolbox for generating data. This paper will demonstrate how to generate data for variety The following code fragment illustrates how of situations using this toolbox. to generate body weight and height keeping a ‘reasonable’ relationship between them by Introduction: using the a randomly generated body-mass- index. The SAS software system’s data step combined with the SORT and PLAN The model is: procedures is a powerful and useful data generation tool. Data is easily generated for Weight in kg simulations, for
