The MULTTEST Procedure

ODS Graphics

Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, by specifying the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

The overall appearance of graphs is controlled by ODS styles. Styles and other aspects of using ODS Graphics are discussed in the section A Primer on ODS Statistical Graphics in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

You must also specify the options in the PROC MULTTEST statement that are indicated in Table 4.

PROC MULTTEST assigns a name to each graph it creates using ODS. You can use these names to reference the graphs when using ODS. The names are listed in Table 4.

Table 4: Graphs Produced by PROC MULTTEST

ODS Graph Name Plot Description Option
AdjPlots Panel of adjusted p-value plots PLOTS=ADJUSTED
AdjByRawRank Adjusted by rank of raw p-values PLOTS=ADJUSTED(UNPACK)
AdjbyRawP Adjusted by raw p-values PLOTS=ADJUSTED(UNPACK)
AdjBySignificant Proportion significant by adjusted PLOTS=ADJUSTED(UNPACK)
FalsePosBySignificant Expected number of false positives by proportion significant PLOTS=ADJUSTED(UNPACK)
PByTest p-values by test PLOTS=PBYTEST
LambdaPlot MSE or NTRUENULL by lambda PLOTS=LAMBDA and
(NTRUENULL=BOOTSTRAP
or NTRUENULL=SPLINE
or PFDR)
ManhattanPlots –logSubscript 10(adjusted p-values) by test PLOTS=MANHATTAN
