Dear,
I am recently used the proc sgplot and found there is a ELLIPSE statement could be used after the scatter plot, after I read the documentation, I still felt confused about the rationale and function of the ELLIPSE. Could anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
A ellipse is a graphical representation of the area in which a new obs would be expected to appear (at a given probability level, based on the x and y values in your data).
Dear Fugue,
Really appreciated for your help. Could I understand your words as this is a prediction plot at a given significance level based on the given x & y data?
That would be correct!
For more information about prediction ellipses, see my blog post "Add a prediction ellipse to a scatter plot in SAS"
For statisticians who need to go beyond the capabilities of the ELLIPSE statement, see the advanced article "Computing prediction ellipses from a covariance matrix"
