ROC Curve ODS Displays

[H]

I am trying to overlay predictors from a logistic regression using ROC curves. I have done this many times, but noticed when using the below code, I do not get the same figures as in the SAS document, see link. In particular, my lines in the "ROC Curves for Comparisons" do not have patterns (i.e., not dashed). I would like the patterned lines, in that the image will be saved in black and white for publication purposes. 

I will note, I am using SAS 9.4 and the example comes from SAS 9.2. I only have access to 9.4 and does anyone have a way for me to make lines patterned or distinguishable in a black and whiite image.

Thanks,

H

What's your output destination, PDF, RTF?

Anyways, change the style to Journal, Journal1 or something in that family. 

[H]

NO output destination. I am reviewing and grabbing the image from the "Results Review" window.

[H]

The first attachment is the desired graph and the second is what I get.

[H]

Yes, that worked, but I had wondered why there was this difference as well, Is it a version change?  Attached is the Journal style version.

Thank you,

With SAS 9.3, the HTML destination uses the HTMLBlue style that has an ATTRPRIORITY=COLOR.  This means that group values first get different colors only.  When all 12 colors are used (with solid pattern), then the pattern (or marker symbol) changes to the next one.  If you want the color and pattern (or symbol) to change with each group, use one of the ATTRPRIORITY=NONE styles (almost all other SAS shipped styles).  You can also change the style behavior by specifying ATTRPRIORITY on the ODS Graphics statement.

I am also trying to get black and white gragh. Can I have code for this black and white graph?

Thanks,

I believe this was the code piece I used, attention to the "Journal" part.

ods graphics on;
ods html style=Journal;
proc logistic data=pct_post plots=roc(id=prob);
	where final_pna_result ne 1;
	MODEL Final_PNA_result (event = '2') =	PCT_1_c							                                                        Temperature_in_ER
										WBC_1	/ nofit;
	roc 'Procalcitonin'  PCT_1_c;
	roc 'Temperature' Temperature_in_ER;
	roc 'White Blood Cell Count' WBC_1;
    roccontrast reference('Procalcitonin') / estimate e;
run;
ods graphics off;

Thank you,

Got you. Are there any way to change the pattern of lines like:----x-x-x-x or ----o-o-o-o-o-- ? I really want to this types of lines.

Thanks,

I don't know how to change line styles. I would imagine Sanjay or others may know how and it may require changing template settings or some code intensive process. I agree that it would be nice if that was a readily accessible option/process.

[Reeza]

@bikashten are you expecting the line to be X/O's or to be a dashed line with X/O's for the points?

[bikashten]

different patterns of lines so that reviews can easily visualize the differences between the treatments..

[Jay54]

It seems to me this issue was resolved (as marked).  However, if you want to change the actual patterns using PROC LOGISTIC, you need to change the associated Style.  You can use PROC TEMPLATE, or the %MODSTYLE macro to derive a new style from JOURNAL with the changed patterns and then use that style on the destination.

If you are using SAS 9.40 or later wityh PROC SGPLOT, you can change the patterns in the code directly using the STYLEATTRS statement.
