Here's the code -
PROC SGPLOT data=STAN.cardata;
scatter x=year y=age_adjusted_rate;
series x=year y=age_adjusted_rate;
RUN;
What I get is a straight line from lower left to upper right, with the y-axis values aligning with the year of the observation, rather than the value of the 'age adjusted rate'.
From the graph, here's a sample of the values of 'age adjusted rate' values on the y-axis from top to bottom:
2.81
2.52
2.48
2.65
3.09
3.43
.(10 additional values, also in improper order)
6.73
6.59
6.55
What am I missing?
Thanks-
It seems to me the most likely explanation is that age_adjusted_rate is a character variable. Is it?
Can you show us the plot? (Use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply)
Yes, that's the answer. Thank you!
