Lifetest x axis

anissak1 — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:09:02 GMT

Hello - I have a dataset that looks like the below and a simple lifetest code. Why does the resulting graph show "day" on the x axis when it should be "week"? Any easy way to fix? I'm using SAS for Academics/Studio/Learner.

Dataset columns:

ID. Treatment. Week. Event. Censor.

Code:

/*/

proc lifetest data=mukm;
time week*censor(1);
strata Treatment;
run;

/*/

Thank you and best wishes.

There must be a label attached to the variable Week, change the label.

The default label is different than day in Academics at least.

proc lifetest data=mukm;
time week*censor(1);
strata Treatment;
label week = 'Week';
run;

Thank you! How do I change the label (I’m relatively inexperienced)?

I included the code in the post.

SAS labels allow you to have user friendly names for variables in your graphs and reports.
