The HPSAMPLE Procedure

Overview: HPSAMPLE Procedure

The HPSAMPLE procedure is a high-performance procedure that performs simple random sampling, stratified sampling, or oversampling. This procedure runs in single-machine mode.

The HPSAMPLE procedure creates the following:

  • one output data set, which contains the sample data set

  • one performance table, which contains performance information

  • one frequency table, which contains the frequency information for the population and sample

The HPSAMPLE procedure does the following:

  • enables you to run in single-machine mode on the server where SAS is installed

  • exploits all the available cores and concurrent threads, regardless of execution mode (currently PROC HPSAMPLE uses only a single thread)
