Box Plot for multiple variables in SAS

deleted_user — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:59:19 GMT

In general , to produce Box plot we use

PROC BOXPLOT DATA=SAS-data-set;
PLOT analysis-variable*group-variable ;
RUN;

I'd like to know if its possible to produce box plot as in SPSS when I've say 7-8 variables.Could u give an e.g.

Check the SAS support http://support.sas.com/ website using its SEARCH option or considering using Google advanced search argument shown below:

Could you give a further explanation of what it means to have a box plot with 7-8 variables? I have never heard of such a thing. Thanks.

I mean say I've just one Box plot which has the graph for all the varaibles, which tells if there is a positive/neagative relation between each pair of variable.It may also tell if there are any influential obsevations in the data.

First, you really need to start researching somethings on your own. I just typed "sas scatter matrix" into a search engine and found the answer in less than a minute.

Second, the answer depends on which version of SAS you have. In 9.2 it is easy. In earlier versions, not so much.

Hi:
There's quite a difference between a scatter plot matrix and the output from PROC BOXPLOT:
BOXPLOT:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/statug_boxplot_sect027.htm

Scatter Plot Matrix from PROC SGSCATTER:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/grstatdesign/61690/HTML/default/p15vesgmtvqg6un1vku8kqippi4h.htm

If you are running in SAS 9.2, then it is quite easy to create a scatter plot matrix, as described in the documentation above.

In SAS 9.1.3, I believe that products such as SAS/Insight and SAS/Lab were able to produce Scatter Plot Matrices:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/sgug/59902/HTML/default/two_sect3.htm
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lab/60951/HTML/default/sumscats_graphica.htm#csumscatsfgraphica

Again, reading the documentation and finding out what version of SAS and SAS products you have available will lead you to the correct procedure/product to produce a scatter plot matrix.

Could you please start a new thread instead of extending a thread from 2010? A lot has changed in five years. Thanks.
