CDFPLOT Statement |
The CDFPLOT statement plots the predicted cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the multinomial response variable as a function of a single continuous independent variable (dose variable). You can use this statement only after a multinomial model statement.
specifies a single continuous variable (dose variable) in the independent variable list of the MODEL statement. If a VAR= variable is not specified, the first single continuous variable in the independent variable list of the MODEL statement is used. If such a variable does not exist in the independent variable list of the MODEL statement, an error is reported.
The predicted cumulative distribution function is defined as
where are the indexes of the levels of the multinomial response variable, F is the CDF of the distribution used to model the cumulative probabilities, is the vector of estimated parameters, is the covariate vector, are estimated ordinal intercepts with , and is the threshold parameter, either known or estimated from the model. Let be the covariate corresponding to the dose variable and be the vector of the rest of the covariates. Let the corresponding estimated parameters be and . Then
To plot as a function of , must be specified. You can use the XDATA= option to provide the values of (see the XDATA= option in the PROC PROBIT statement for details), or use the default values that follow the rules:
If the effect contains a continuous variable (or variables), the overall mean of this effect is used.
If the effect is a single classification variable, the highest level of the variable is used.
specify the levels of the multinomial response variable for which the CDF curves are requested, and add features to the plot. There are curves for a -level multinomial response variable (for the highest level, it is the constant line 1). You can specify any of them to be plotted by the LEVEL= option in the CDFPLOT statement. See the LEVEL= option for how to specify the levels.
An attached box on the right side of the plot is used to label these curves with the names of their levels. You can specify the color of this box by using the CLABBOX= option.
You can use options in the CDFPLOT statement to do the following:
superimpose specification limits
specify the levels for which the CDF curves are requested
specify graphical enhancements (such as color or text height)
Table 74.1 through Table 74.7 list all options by function. The Dictionary of Options describes each option in detail.

The following entries provide detailed descriptions of the options in the CDFPLOT statement.
specifies an Annotate data set, as described in SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference, that enables you to add features to the CDF plot. The ANNOTATE= data set you specify in the CDFPLOT statement is used for all plots created by the statement.
specifies the color used for the axes and tick marks. This option overrides any COLOR= specifications in an AXIS statement. The default is the first color in the device color list.
specifies the color for the fitted CDF curves. The default is the first color in the device color list.
specifies the color for the area enclosed by the axes and frame. This area is not shaded by default.
specifies the color for grid lines. The default is the first color in the device color list.
specifies the color for the area enclosed by the label box for CDF curves. This area is not shaded by default.
specifies the color for lines requested by the HREF= option. The default is the first color in the device color list.
specifies the color for tick mark values and axis labels. The default is the color specified for the CTEXT= option in the most recent GOPTIONS statement.
specifies the color for lines requested by the VREF= option. The default is the first color in the device color list.
specifies a description, up to 40 characters, that appears in the PROC GREPLAY master menu. The default is the variable name.
specifies a software font for reference line and axis labels. You can also specify fonts for axis labels in an AXIS statement. The FONT= font takes precedence over the FTEXT= font specified in the most recent GOPTIONS statement. Hardware characters are used by default.
specifies tick mark values for the horizontal axis; value1, value2, and value3 must be numeric, and value1 must be less than value2. The lower tick mark is value1. Tick marks are drawn at increments of value3. The last tick mark is the greatest value that does not exceed value2. If value3 is omitted, a value of 1 is used.
Examples of HAXIS= lists follow:
haxis = 0 to 10 haxis = 2 to 10 by 2 haxis = 0 to 200 by 10
specifies the height of text used outside framed areas. The default value is 3.846 (in percentage).
specifies the lower limit on the horizontal axis scale. The HLOWER= option specifies value as the lower horizontal axis tick mark. The tick mark interval and the upper axis limit are determined automatically. This option has no effect if the HAXIS= option is used.
specifies offset for horizontal axis. The default value is 1.
specifies value as the upper horizontal axis tick mark. The tick mark interval and the lower axis limit are determined automatically. This option has no effect if the HAXIS= option is used.
requests reference lines perpendicular to the horizontal axis. If (INTERSECT) is specified, a second reference line perpendicular to the vertical axis is drawn that intersects the fit line at the same point as the horizontal axis reference line. If a horizontal axis reference line label is specified, the intersecting vertical axis reference line is labeled with the vertical axis value. See also the CHREF=, HREFLABELS=, and LHREF= options.
specifies labels for the lines requested by the HREF= option. The number of labels must equal the number of lines. Enclose each label in quotes. Labels can be up to 16 characters.
specifies the vertical position of labels for HREF= lines. The following table shows valid values for n and the corresponding label placements.

specifies the names of the levels for which CDF curves are requested. Names should be quoted and separated by space. If there is no correct name provided, no CDF curve is plotted.
specifies a line style for fitted curves. By default, fitted curves are drawn by connecting solid lines (linetype = 1).
specifies a line style for all grid lines. linetype is between 1 and 46. The default is 35.
specifies the line type for lines requested by the HREF= option. The default is 2, which produces a dashed line.
specifies the line type for lines requested by the VREF= option. The default is 2, which produces a dashed line.
specifies a name for the plot, up to eight characters, that appears in the PROC GREPLAY master menu. The default is ’PROBIT’.
specifies the horizontal position of labels for the threshold line. The following table shows valid values for n and the corresponding label placements.
n |

specifies tick mark values for the vertical axis; value1, value2, and value3 must be numeric, and value1 must be less than value2. The lower tick mark is value1. Tick marks are drawn at increments of value3. The last tick mark is the greatest value that does not exceed value2. This method of specification of tick marks is not valid for logarithmic axes. If value3 is omitted, a value of 1 is used.
Examples of VAXIS= lists follow:
vaxis = 0 to 10 vaxis = 0 to 2 by .1
specifies the lower limit on the vertical axis scale. The VLOWER= option specifies value as the lower vertical axis tick mark. The tick mark interval and the upper axis limit are determined automatically. This option has no effect if the VAXIS= option is used.
requests reference lines perpendicular to the vertical axis. If (INTERSECT) is specified, a second reference line perpendicular to the horizontal axis is drawn that intersects the fit line at the same point as the vertical axis reference line. If a vertical axis reference line label is specified, the intersecting horizontal axis reference line is labeled with the horizontal axis value. See also the CVREF=, LVREF=, and VREFLABELS= options.
specifies labels for the lines requested by the VREF= option. The number of labels must equal the number of lines. Enclose each label in quotes. Labels can be up to 16 characters.

specifies the upper limit on the vertical axis scale. The VUPPER= option specifies value as the upper vertical axis tick mark. The tick mark interval and the lower axis limit are determined automatically. This option has no effect if the VAXIS= option is used.
specifies line thickness for axes and frame. The default value is 1.
specifies line thickness for fitted curves. The default value is 1.
specifies line thickness for reference lines. The default value is 1.
