Sample 42515: Plot means with standard error bars from calculated data with PROC GPLOT
 |  |  |  |  |  |
This sample illustrates how to plot means with standard error bars from calculated data with the GPLOT procedure.
You can use a procedure such as PROC MEANS to calculate the means and standard errors. You can then use these values to calculate the upper and lower error bar limits in a DATA step. Use the HILOCTJ interpolation with PROC GPLOT to generate the graph.
