Hello,

 

I'm currently working on a SAS Programm to fit my data of a germinating fungus to a given logistic function. This works fine for now, as the estimated values fit well to the data and predicted values based on that function seem acceptable. But when I try to plot this data the resulting graph looks like this:

Does anyone has any suggestions regarding this problem? I'm using SAS University Edition / SAS Studio 3.8

Thanks for your help!

 

The code used to create this graph is as follows: 

data fungi;
     input time germrate;
     datalines;

Hi @RobinN , you just need to sort your graph by time before you do the plot. Please see the example below.

I meant to say, sort your data instead of sort your graph...

This was quite easy and obvious. Many thanks for your quick help!

You're welcome! When you're doing series and band plots it's best to sort your data beforehand by the variable on the x-axis 🙂
