Overview: SUMMARY Procedure
The SUMMARY procedure provides data summarization tools that compute
descriptive statistics for variables across all observations or within groups of
observations. The SUMMARY procedure is very similar to the MEANS procedure; for
full syntax details, see Chapter 28, “The MEANS Procedure,” on page 523. Except for
the differences that are discussed here, all the PROC MEANS information also applies
to PROC SUMMARY.
