Change X-axis for hazard function proclifetest

[shairstin]

Hello 

I have a very simple question, but have not been able to solve it.

I am interested in the hazard function for my survival data, where patients are censored if they have not had the event of interest (death). Status 0=alive, 1= dead

ods graphics on;

proc lifetest data=mydata plots=hazard;

time survivaltime*status(0);

run;

ods graphics off;

I want to change the y and x-axis parameters on the hazard function plot (I need to re-label and change the tick marks).

Does someone have some easy code for this? Or a resource that is easy to follow?

When it comes to controlling graph appearance I tend to prefer having a data set and sending it to graphing procedure that lets me do what I want. Of course then option of modifying the data comes up as well.

You can get a data set used for the graph by adding an ODS OUTPUT statement:

ods graphics on;
ods output hazardplot=work.hazard;

proc lifetest data=mydata plots=hazard;
   time survivaltime*status(0);
run;

ods graphics off;

You can find the names of the created ODS objects, such as HAZARDPLOT in the details section of each procedure under the ODS Graphics (or ODS TABLES for tabular data).

See this note and the examples that make various plot changes using the second method which saves the plot data and then uses PROC SGPLOT to redraw the plot as desired. The example on modifying the EFFECTPLOT shows how axis range and labels can be specified.
