Finding maximum value in a group using proc means in SAS? -

-

suppose have data in table

match_day name    goals  1         higuain   4  1         messi     1 1         ozil      4 1         villa     3 1         xavi      4 2        benzema    4 2        messi      4 2        ronaldo    3 2         villa     4 2         xavi      4

now want find out player scored maximum goals in each match. tried using doing-

  proc means data=b nway max;   class match_day name;   var goals;   output out=c(drop=_type_ _freq_) max=goals;   run;

but not work. correct way of doing this?

this isn't can in proc means. it's easier in sql or data step. direct solution:

proc sort data=b; match_day descending goals; *so highest goal number @ top; run;   data c; set b; match_day; if first.match_day; *the first record per match_day; run;

that give record largest number of goals. if there tie, not more 1 record, instead arbitrarily first.

if want keep records number, can do:

data c; set b; retain keep; match_day descending goals; if first.match_day keep=1; *the first record per match_day, flag keep; if keep=1 output;          *output records kept; if last.goals keep=0;      *clear keep flag @ end of first goals set; drop keep; run;

python - TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not "float") to tuple -

i'm new python, question might easy, anyway, patience: as trying call newton-raphson method calculate implied volatility in black-scholes formula call/put option pricing, first thing is, newton method in scipy.optimize seems calculate function's zeros, in black-scholes formula, want function's value option price, not zero. (i'm new here programming, i'm not sure techniques.) should write function things like: def f(sigma, price): return bsformula(s0,k,r,t,q,sigma) - price then, while calling newton method, takes args=() 1 parameter in function, write this: value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=price) but error message: file "bs.py", line 36, in bsimpvol value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=float(price)) file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/optimize/zeros.py", line 143, in newton q0 = func(*((p0,) + args)) typeerror: can concatenate tuple (not "float") tuple could tell me why that? how fix it? apprecia...
