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.
PROC STDRATE assigns a name to each graph it creates. You can use these names to refer to the graphs when you use ODS. To request the graph, ODS Graphics must be enabled and you must use the PLOTS option in the PROC STDRATE statement to specify the plot-request indicated in Table 7.
Table 7: Graphs Produced by PROC STDRATE
| ODS Graph Name | Plot Description | plot-request in PLOTS Option |
|---|---|---|
| StrataDistPlot | Strata proportion of exposed time or sample size | DIST |
| StrataEffectPlot | Strata effect measure of rate difference, rate ratio, | EFFECT |
| risk difference, or risk ratio | ||
| StrataRatePlot | Strata rate estimates | RATE |
| StrataRiskPlot | Strata risk estimates | RISK |
| StrataSMRPlot | Strata SMR of rates or risks | SMR |
