How to create Boxplots for two discrete variables by group

Ihsan-Mahdi — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 23:01:31 GMT

Hello,

I would like to create boxplots for 2 variables (distance and time) compared between two types of transport (air and ground).

All variables are numeric with the transport variable having 2 values (1 for air & 0 for ground).

Is there a way to produce such boxplots in one graph?

Thank you!

Short answer: Yes it is possible.

Longer, provide some example data in the form of a working data step as data structures often matter when attempting to plot values and some concrete example data we can write code and see how close we get to what you want.

As ballardw said post an example picture would better illustrate your question.

data have;
set sashelp.class;
label='Weight';value=weight;output;
label='Height';value=height;output;
keep sex label value;
run;
proc sgpanel data=have;
panelby sex label/layout=lattice novarname uniscale=column spacing=0;
vbox value;
run;
