PROC CAPABILITY: Summary of Options

The CAPABILITY Procedure

Summary of Options

The following tables list the COMPHIST statement options by function. For complete descriptions, see Dictionary of Options.

Distribution Options

Table 5.12 lists the options for requesting that a fitted normal distribution or a kernel density estimate be overlaid on the comparative histogram.

Table 5.12 Density Estimation Options
Option	Description
KERNEL(kernel-options)	fits kernel density estimates
NORMAL(normal-options)	fits normal distribution with mean $\text{[math]}$ and standard deviation $\text{[math]}$

You can specify the secondary options listed in Table 5.13 in parentheses after the KERNEL option to control features of kernel density estimates.

Table 5.13 Kernel-Options
Option	Description
C=	specifies standardized bandwidth parameter $\text{[math]}$ for kernel density estimate
COLOR=	specifies color of the kernel density curve
FILL	fills area under kernel density curve
K=	specifies NORMAL, TRIANGULAR, or QUADRATIC kernel
L=	specifies line type used for kernel density curve
LOWER=	specifies lower bound for kernel density curve
UPPER=	specifies upper bound for kernel density curve
W=	specifies line width for kernel density curve

You can specify the secondary options listed in Table 5.14 in parentheses after the NORMAL option to control features of fitted normal distributions.

Table 5.14 Normal-Options
Option	Description
COLOR=	specifies color of normal curve
FILL	fills area under normal curve
L=	specifies line type of normal curve
MU=	specifies mean $\text{[math]}$ for fitted normal curve
SIGMA=	specifies standard deviation $\text{[math]}$ for fitted normal curve
W=	specifies width of normal curve

For example, the following statements use the NORMAL option to fit a normal curve in each cell of the comparative histogram:

proc capability;
   comphistogram / class = machine
                   normal(color=red l=2);
run;

The COLOR= normal-option draws the curve in red, and the L= normal-option specifies a line style of 2 (a dashed line) for the curve. In this example, maximum likelihood estimates are computed for the normal parameters $\text{[math]}$ and $\text{[math]}$ for each cell since these parameters are not specified.
