PREPARATION METHOD OF SAS PROGRAM FOR DATA ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL TEST

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means to reduce the workload for preparing a SAS program for data analysis of a clinical test. SOLUTION: The analysis program for a clinical test is prepared on a software capable of performing spread sheet calculation. Contents required for extracting and analyzing data stored in a clinical test data base are inputted as parameters (including collective names of analysis objects, names of variables, etc.), to the software. The parameters are read into a SAS system using a DDE function and processed so as to be used by the SAS program for analysis to make a parameter set which is read in by a program generator to automatically generate the SAS program for analysis.
