Is it possible to create a histgram with only 2 uneven bins: ">= median" and "< median" ? Using either proc univariate, or sgplot. How to set the middle or endpoint? Thanks
What do you mean by endpoints? If I understand you correctly, you can do something like this
proc sql;
create table temp as
select *,
median(height),
(case
when height lt median(height) then "< median"
when height ge median(height) then ">= median"
end) as overunder
from sashelp.class;
quit;
proc sgplot data=temp;
vbar overunder;
run;

Sure, that's just a bar chart though, I wouldn't call it a histogram. And in theory, it should be a straight line because that's the definition of the median.
