PROC LIFETEST-Renaming Variables on the graph

sasworker16 — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 06:12:35 GMT

Hello,

I ran the following command in SAS:

PROC LIFETEST data=w.cancer PLOTS= survival(nocensored); TIME FU_WK*Death(0); STRATA Chemo_Group; run;

ODS GRAPHICS OFF

Chemo_Group=>1, 2, 3

Is there a way to rename the Chemo_Group on the graph without having to change the names in the variable?

Currently, I am getting ...

STRATA:

-----Chemo_group=1 ooo Censored Chemo_group=1

-----Chemo_group=2 ooo Censored Chemo_group=2

-----Chemo_group=3 ooo Censored Chemo_group=3

but intstead, it will be nice if I could do the following without changing the variable Chemo_group,

STRATA:

-----Chemo_group=Arimidex ooo Censored Chemo_group=Armidex

-----Chemo_group=Megace ooo Censored Chemo_group=Megace

-----Chemo_group=Efudex ooo Censored Chemo_group=Efudex

Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Thank You.

Depending on your data look at either applying a label or proc format.

Proc format will change the values in a variable.

A label will,change the display name of a variable.
