Proc npar1way with options Plots= not work for SAS V9.2

QLi — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:49:28 GMT

When I use NPAR1WAY procedure , code like this:
proc npar1way edf plots=edfplot;
class treatment;
var response;
freq freq;
run;

There is error message in Log:
proc npar1way edf plots=edfplot;
------
22 200
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, AB, ANOVA, CORRECT, D, DATA, EDF,
KLOTZ, KS, KS1, MEDIAN, MISSING, MOOD, NOPRINT, PERM, SAVAGE, SCORES, ST, VW,
WILCOXON.
ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized and will be ignored.
113 class treatment;
ERROR: File WORK.EDFPLOT.DATA does not exist.

I need to plot K-S plot. My SAS version is V9.2. Anyone please help look it!
Thanks,
Ching

The PLOTS= only works with ODS Graphics. Did you include the
ODS GRAPHICS ON;
statement?

Documentation on the plots you can request are shown here:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/statug_npar1way_sect018.htm

Example of EDFPLOT (using ODS GRAPHICS ON/OFF) is here:

I generated some data and your code ran fine after I added the ODS GRAPHICS ON; and ODS GRAPHICS OFF; statements around the PROC. Another possibility is that you must have SAS/Graph licensed in order for the ODS graphics to run.

Thanks,

I checked my SAS is not V9.2. it is V9.1. For V9.1, how to plot the K-S test comparison?

I believe that what you are looking for was originally called a "Pair Chart" by Dana Quade when he developed it back in the 70's. There is one version in SUGI proceedings, but I know doubt it is online (google: "pair chart" sas macro). Here is a reference to Dana's original paper (now online):

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120800711/abstract

If you can't locate the macro, you can write the code based on the article. Correction: The edfplot is not the Pair Chart. The Pair Chart directly compared the two groups rather than creating two plots.
