The SURVEYMEANS Procedure

Quantiles

The “Quantiles” table displays all the quantiles that you request with either statistic-keywords such as DECILES, MEDIAN, Q1, Q3, and QUARTILES, or the PERCENTILE= option, or the QUANTILE= option in the PROC SURVEYMEANS statement.

The “Quantiles” table contains the following information for each quantile:

Variable name
Variable Label
Percentile, which is the requested quantile in the format of %
Percentile Label, which is the corresponding common name for a percentile if it exists—for example, Median for 50th percentile
Estimate, which is the estimate for a requested quantile with respect to the population distribution
Std Error, which is the standard error of the quantile
$100(1-\alpha )$ % Confidence Limits, which are two-sided confidence limits for the quantile
