proc sgplot issues with grouping variable in the plot

ari — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 22:24:56 GMT

I am trying to make time series plot of few subjects grouped by dose.

The subejcts are colored according to the group but the line connecting the data points looks strange as shown in graph below.

Ideally I want the data points for each subjects connected per subject (but colored per the grouping variable) rather than the grouping variable.

Any solution to this issue ?

code:

proc sgplot data = data1;
series x = time y = value/
markers
markerattrs = (symbol = circlefilled)
group = dosec
lineattrs = (thickness = 2);
run;

Try sorting the data by the Group variable and then the xaxis variable.

Series plots often try to connect points by order in the data set which often is not the order you want the graph to be drawn.

Thanks but its still doesnt solve the grouping issue. the data points are not connected per subject.
