Customising Hazard pot title.

[ammarhm]

The following code will produce a plot of the hazards function

ods select HazardPlot;
ods graphics on;
proc lifetest data=sashelp.BMT plots=hazard;
   time T * Status(0);
run;
ods graphics off;

I am trying to remove the title of the plot where it says "epanechnikov kernel-smoothed hazard function ", and to remove the "Bandwidth" comment below the graph

I usually use the steps described in this documentation to customise my Kaplan Meier plots:

https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/151/kaplan.pdf

However, the above document does not address how to deal with hazard plots.. Any thought about how to remove the title or customise it in the hazard plot and how to remove the bandwidth comment?

Thanks

Solved using proc template and entrytitle keyword

proc template;
source  Stat.Lifetest.Graphics.SmoothedHazard;
define statgraph Stat.Lifetest.Graphics.SmoothedHazard;
   dynamic NStrata Kernel Bandwidth confLimits GroupName maxTime _byline_ _bytitle_ _byfootnote_;
   BeginGraph;
         entrytitle  "";
         layout overlay / yaxisopts=(label="Estimated Hazard Rate" shortlabel="Hazard") xaxisopts=(linearopts=(viewmax=MAXTIME));
            bandplot LimitUpper=UPPER LimitLower=LOWER x=TIME / displayTail=false modelname="Hazard" name="Confidence" LegendLabel=
               CONFLIMITS;
            seriesplot y=HAZARD x=TIME / name="Hazard";
            if (EXISTS(CONFLIMITS))
               DISCRETELEGEND "Confidence" / location=outside halign=center valign=bottom;
            endif;
         endlayout;

   EndGraph;
end;
run;
