Simple quantiles function...

proc univariate data=boots.a_alpha;  
output out=boots.alpha_quantiles pctlpts=0.5 2.5 97.5 99.5 pctlpre=PreTest;
var estimate;
run;

Stupid Mistake...

PhD studying is indeed a battle against carelessness. And today I paid for my carelessness AGAIN! 

I should get the quantile of 97.5%, 2.5%, 99.5% and 0.5%, so that I can make inference accordingly. However, I, the big stupid dummy, got only the regular distribution. And I found the mistake after I had done almost all the work. Almost 10 hours work turned to be useless...I did all the dirty and heavy work yesterday and hoped today was a happy and "clean" day. However, it seems I need to do the dirty work again...Painful...Faint...Heart attack...

It is really a lesson AGAIN! Start from the beginning point AGAIN!
