PROC CORR Statement Options

Enter SAS PROC CORR options in this field to override default parameters for computing the correlation.

You can specify any PROC CORR option using the following syntax:

Option

where:

•

OPTION is the PROC CORR option.

Examples of commonly used PROC CORR options are listed in the following table:

Option	Definition
BEST=n	This option outputs the highest correlation coefficients for each variable. Correlations are ordered from highest to lowest in absolute value. Otherwise, PROC CORR prints correlations in a rectangular table, using the variable names as row and column labels.
COV	This option displays the variance and covariance matrix. When you specify the COV option, the Pearson correlations are also displayed.
NOCORR	This option suppresses displaying of Pearson correlations.
NOMISS	This option excludes observations with missing values from the analysis.
NOPRINT	This option suppresses all displayed output. Use the NOPRINT option if you want to create an output data set only.
NOPROB	This option suppresses displaying the probabilities associated with each correlation coefficient.
RANK	This option displays the ordered correlation coefficients for each variable. Correlations are ordered from highest to lowest in absolute value. Note: If you specify the Hoeffding coefficient, the statistics are displayed in order from highest to lowest.

Type specific PROC CORR options in the PROC CORR Statement Options field.

Separate individual options with a space.
