Quartile plot in survival

[sfo]

Hi,

Could you help with the function or code to make the quartile plots in survival, something like the attached.

PROC LIFETEST - use the Quarter as a STRATA and you should get a table that's pretty close by default.

Thanks for the quick reply!!

So just for my understanding

1. I have a BW_Quartile variable that has been generated using Rank, so I use that variable in STRATA?

2. Where does the table get outputted?

If you work through the example in the documentation (see the link at the top for the full code) it'll probably answer all your questions.

Thanks the article was very useful.

one quick question, not sure if this is a relevant thread. I am outputting the outputs to pdf, is there a way I can assign a name to the panels in the pdf like we do in proc gplot by using desc syntax?

Unfortunately I don't think so. You could probably 'fake it' by running the proc multiple times using ODS SELECT to ensure only the components you want along with ODS PROCTITLE to specify the title entries. 

This assumes you're talking about the table of contents type entries.
