INPUT Glucose;

datalines;

141

158

112

153

134

148

172

200

271

145

147;

run;

PROC PRINT DATA=blood_glucose_monitoring;

run;

PROC UNIVARIATE DATA=blood_glucose_monitoring PLOT;

VAR Glucose;

run;

I have a horizontal bar graph, box plot, but don't know how to generate a stem leaf plot.

Thank you!

The first plot in the output is either a stem-and-leaf plot (Tukey; 1977) or a horizontal bar chart. If any single interval contains more than 49 observations, the horizontal bar chart appears. Otherwise, the stem-and-leaf plot appears. The stem-and-leaf plot is like a horizontal bar chart in that both plots provide a method to visualize the overall distribution of the data. The stem-and-leaf plot provides more detail because each point in the plot represents an individual data value.
