Side by Side Histogram

Tz — Sat, 30 May 2015 13:22:51 GMT

Dear all.

I am trying to create a Side-by-Side histogram, like below.

I can get SAS to ,draw histograms in panels or overlayed but can find no option (something like groupcluster) for a histogram with automatic binning.

Thanks

I could not see your example. Since Histograms display densities over a continuous range, you cannot have side by side bins like a Bar Chart. However, you can display these as overlays. See this blog article on this topic:

Here is one example:

Hi Sanjay, I'ts nice to hear from you again (You helped me with a log-scaled graph where the original value was a fraction, but the log scale in SAS cannot handle negative values),

The hisrtogram I'm looking for is standard in SPSS.

Thanks

Please add a picture of what you want, and the data. Which release of SAS are you using?

Sorry Sanjay.

I was misinformed by the researcher.

The examples he provided were run in SPSS after coding the bin values.

Thanks for you're patience
