Hello,

 

I'm doing a scatter plot with a linear fit line. 

I would like to export (in whatever format) the Details, more specifically the equation that's being generated, correlation coefficient and R-square.

I need to use the estimates in another calculation. 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do it?

 

Thank you

Hi Elle,

 

You can export the underlying data for a scatter plot, but you can't export the equation, correlation coefficient, or r-square value. Do you have SAS Visual Statistics licensed as well? If you do, you could right click on the scatterplot, then click on "Launch", then open up one of the visualizations in Visual Statistics (linear regression, generalized linear model, etc.), through which you could get to the r-square and additional details. 

 

I hope this helps!

Hello,

 

Yes I have Visual Statistics, but passing to linear regression switches my response variable with the explanatory variable and everything gets duplicated, which is a major inconvenience since there are a lot of scatter plots generated at a high frequency.

This option would be perfect if somehow I could program VA to do it automatically whenever a scatter plot is created. Any thoughts on that?

Hi Elle,



Unfortunately, there is no way to program this in VA. The best option you have is to export the details manually, or, change to a linear regression and continue working in VS.



I'm sorry we don't have a better solution at this time, but please keep the questions coming.



Thanks!
