A researcher was experimenting the efficacy of two drugs on
reducing blood pressure. Data was collected for two groups of 15
patients’ systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The first group
was administered with drug 1 and the second group with drug 2. The
researcher noted the blood pressures, and these are given in the
file bpdata.txt.
The first 15 values represent systolic blood pressures of
patients in group 1 and the next 15 the diastolic blood pressure of
the first group. The next 30 observations have similar information
about the second group. Create a dataset with 60 observations, each
observation containing the variables Patient_group1,
Patient_group2, BPTYPE (systolic or diastolic), BPSCORE (storing
value of the blood pressure).
Answer using SAS programming language.
bpdata.txt:
130 131 132 133 134 134 137 139 138 139
141 143 143 145 146 77 87 85 82 80 79
