Hi, I have a model to predict cost using the GenMOD procedures. The distribution used is Inverse Gaussian with a log link. The predicted values  in the output dataset and the graph produced by effectplot make sense. The predicted costs are in the order of tens of thousands of dollars. The coefficient parameters instead are  decimals. For example how do i interpret that the coefficient estimate of a covariate such as diabetes is 0.1? How can I convert it into dollars?  I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you ... View more

Hello SAS users, my data are means from measurements that were taken before surgery and at regular interval after surgery. I would like to connect with a smooth line only the measurement taken after surgery. The means of measurements taken before surgery should have the same symbols as those following surgery but should be separated. Can I do this without juxtaposing 2 separately created graphs? Thank you! I posted my code below, although I am not sure that it can offer any further information to this problem.  proc sgplot data= &VB.overtime3 ; Title "Perioperative levels of &VB"; styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(blue blue red red ) DATALINEPATTERNS=(solid shortdash solid shortdash ) datacolors=(blue blue red red) datasymbols=(circlefilled circlefilled squarefilled squarefilled); xaxis type=discrete; series x=level y=&VB.mean_lev /smoothconnect MARKERS markerattrs=(size=9) LINEATTRS = (THICKNESS = 2)group = &G; keylegend/ valueattrs=(SIZE=12); xaxis type=discrete; scatter x=level y=&VB.mean_lev / markerattrs=(size=0) yerrorlower=&VB.LCLM_lev yerrorupper=&VB.UCLM_lev group = &G; YAXIS LABEL = "&VB (mg/dl)" valueattrs=(SIZE=12) labelattrs=(SIZE=12 weight=bold) ; XAXIS LABEL = 'TIME' valueattrs=(SIZE=12) labelattrs=(SIZE=12 weight=bold); format level level.; run; ...
