In the VBOX statement you can label the outliers with the value of a variable (like an ID) by using the DATALABEL= option. I don't think you can have the outlier markers have a different color depending on the ID.  ... View more

Maybe we have a different idea of what a boxplot does, but if you have X as visit and Y as change, I guess its not obvious to me where the variable subject fits in. Could you show us an example of such a boxplot? ... View more

Another possibility is that the data changed in between your two runs of GLIMMIX. I know you said it didn't change, but it is indeed something that needs to verified. You can't just say it, you have to check and convince yourself the data didn't change.   But, as stated above, you need to provide us with the log of the two different runs of GLIMMIX and the output from both runs. ...

@sasgorilla wrote: Yes, essentially you could think of group as company types.    There are self-owned companies (A, B, C ...), there are small multi-owner companies (A1, B1, C1...) and there are larger interstate companies (A2, B2, C2....).    Then, imagine the intervention is a policy. The policy is turned on in certain states and not others, so you now have companies of each type that did and did not experience that policy. So, I want to visually be able to look at the self-owned companies that did have the policy versus those that did not, and do the same for the small multi-owner, larger interstate companies. I want to see in each group type whether the individual companies appear to generally follow the same trends.     Does that make sense?  So, I am out of time today, and I do not have a YES or NO answer to your question "Does that make sense?" Probably tomorrow I can get back to this. ... View more

@sasgorilla wrote: Thanks, @PaigeMiller . Manually doing this could be a challenge.    More context: There are multiple different group types, each with anywhere from 5 to 10 +  groups therein.   Each of these groups has experienced an intervention (indicator=1) or not (indicator=0).   While I have plotted one consolidated line for indicator 1 vs 0 by group type, I also want to be able to see the trend of each individual group based on their their intervention status. This is primarily a visual check to see if there are outliers within groups who aren't following the same pattern as the rest. In other words, do subgroups within the different group types follow similar trends based on the intervention status.  If I can see that at a glance by these groups, then I can further tease out the outliers.  Thank you for explaining in more detail. There's no way I could provide a useful answer to the "real" problem based upon your original problem statement.   I'm still not sure I understand what you want. I don't understand this part: "There are multiple different group types, each with anywhere from 5 to 10 +  groups therein." Groups within groups?   Nor am I sure I understand what plot you want. Is there any way you could DRAW the plot you want for, let's say, 4 groups, and scan it into your computer and then include it in your reply? (Or have Excel create the plot and then include it in your reply?) To include plots in your reply please use the "Insert Photos" icon (and do NOT attach files). ... View more

@sasgorilla wrote: Hi. I am trying to make a simple line series with multiple lines where each line represents a different group. I would like each group line to be a specific color based on a binary indicator variable. In other words, if group A and B are indicator=0 I want them blue (for example), and if groups C, D, and E are indicator=1 I want them red.    How can I do that?  proc sgplot data=mydata; series y=outcome x=time / group=type; run; I assume that your indicator variable is named TYPE, but you didn't specifically say that. You should always link the text that describes the problem with the actual name of the variable. Does TYPE have values A B C D E? (That's what I am assuming for this code) Or is TYPE binary?   The simplest method is to use the styleattrs command   proc sgplot data=mydata; styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(blue blue red red red); series y=outcome x=time / group=type; run;   I am always uncomfortable providing code for this obviously contrived example, where C D and E all show up in identical colors on the plot, so you cannot distinguish them visually. I get the feeling that the answer above will not work on your real problem, and I think it would be much better if you explain the real problem.   ... View more

Another example of using a macro when you don't need a macro. You can obtain the same without macros, using a BY statement in PROC MEANS.
