The UNIVARIATE Procedure

INSET Statement

INSET keywords </ options> ;

An INSET statement places a box or table of summary statistics, called an inset, directly in a graph created with a CDFPLOT, HISTOGRAM, PPPLOT, PROBPLOT, or QQPLOT statement. The INSET statement must follow the plot statement that creates the plot that you want to augment. The inset appears in all the graphs that the preceding plot statement produces.

You can use multiple INSET statements after a plot statement to add more than one inset to a plot. See Example 4.17.

In an INSET statement, you specify one or more keywords that identify the information to display in the inset. The information is displayed in the order that you request the keywords. Keywords can be any of the following:

  • statistical keywords

  • primary keywords

  • secondary keywords

Keyword for Reading an Input Data Set

DATA=

(label, value) pairs from input data set


To create a completely customized inset, use a DATA= data set.

DATA=SAS-data-set

requests that PROC UNIVARIATE display customized statistics from a SAS data set in the inset table. The data set must contain two variables:

_LABEL_

is a character variable whose values provide labels for inset entries.

_VALUE_

is a variable that is either character or numeric and whose values provide values for inset entries.

The label and value from each observation in the data set occupy one line in the inset. The position of the DATA= keyword in the keyword list determines the position of its lines in the inset.

Primary and Secondary Keywords

A primary keyword specifies a fitted distribution, which is one of the parametric distributions or a kernel density estimate. You specify secondary keywords in parentheses after the primary keyword to request particular statistics associated with that distribution.

Note: When producing traditional graphics output, you can specify a primary keyword without secondary keywords to display a colored line and the distribution name as a key for the density curve.

In the HISTOGRAM statement you can request more than one fitted distribution from the same family (for example, two normal distributions). You can display inset statistics for individual curves by specifying the curve indices in square brackets immediately following the primary keyword.

The following statements produce a histogram with three fitted normal curves and an inset that contains goodness-of-fit statistics for the second curve only:

proc univariate data=score;
   histogram final / normal(sigma=1 2 3);
   inset normal[2](ad adpval);
run;

The inset statistics listed in Table 4.12 are not available unless you request a plot statement and options that calculate these statistics. For example, consider the following statements:

proc univariate data=score;
   histogram final / normal;
   inset mean std normal(ad adpval);
run;

The MEAN and STD keywords display the sample mean and standard deviation, respectively, of final. The NORMAL keyword with the secondary keywords AD and ADPVAL displays the Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test statistic and $p$-value, respectively. The statistics that are specified with the NORMAL keyword are available only because the NORMAL option is requested in the HISTOGRAM statement.

The KERNEL keyword is available only if you request a kernel density estimate in a HISTOGRAM statement. The WEIBULL2 keyword is available only if you request a two-parameter Weibull distribution in the PROBPLOT or QQPLOT statement.

INSET Statistic Labels and Formats

By default, PROC UNIVARIATE identifies inset statistics with appropriate labels and prints numeric values with appropriate formats. To customize the label, specify the keyword followed by an equal sign (=) and the desired label in quotes. To customize the format, specify a numeric format in parentheses after the keyword. Labels can have up to 24 characters. If you specify both a label and a format for a statistic, the label must appear before the format. For example, the following statement requests customized labels for two statistics and displays the standard deviation with a field width of 5 and two decimal places:

inset n='Sample Size' std='Std Dev' (5.2);

Dictionary of Options

The following entries provide detailed descriptions of options for the INSET statement. Options marked with † are applicable only when traditional graphics are produced.

† CFILL=color | BLANK

specifies the color of the background for traditional graphics. If you omit the CFILLH= option the header background is included. By default, the background is empty, which causes items that overlap the inset (such as curves or histogram bars) to show through the inset.

If you specify a value for CFILL= option, then overlapping items no longer show through the inset. Use CFILL=BLANK to leave the background uncolored and to prevent items from showing through the inset.

† CFILLH=color

specifies the color of the header background for traditional graphics. The default value is the CFILL= color.

† CFRAME=color

specifies the color of the frame for traditional graphics. The default value is the same color as the axis of the plot.

† CHEADER=color

specifies the color of the header text for traditional graphics. The default value is the CTEXT= color.

† CSHADOW=color

specifies the color of the drop shadow for traditional graphics. By default, if a CSHADOW= option is not specified, a drop shadow is not displayed.

† CTEXT=color

specifies the color of the text for traditional graphics. The default value is the same color as the other text on the plot.

DATA

specifies that data coordinates are to be used in positioning the inset with the POSITION= option. The DATA option is available only when you specify POSITION=(x,y). You must place DATA immediately after the coordinates (x,y). Note: Positioning insets with coordinates is not supported for ODS Graphics output.

† FONT=font

specifies the font of the text for traditional graphics. By default, if you locate the inset in the interior of the plot, then the font is SIMPLEX. If you locate the inset in the exterior of the plot, then the font is the same as the other text on the plot.

FORMAT=format

specifies a format for all the values in the inset. If you specify a format for a particular statistic, then that format overrides the one specified with the FORMAT= option. For more information about SAS formats, see SAS Formats and Informats: Reference.

GUTTER=value

specifies the gutter width in percent screen units for an inset located in the top or bottom margin. The gutter is the space between columns of (label, value) pairs in an inset. The default value is four. Note: The GUTTER= option applies only when ODS Graphics is enabled.

HEADER=string

specifies the header text. The string cannot exceed 40 characters. By default, no header line appears in the inset. If all the keywords that you list in the INSET statement are secondary keywords that correspond to a fitted curve on a histogram, PROC UNIVARIATE displays a default header that indicates the distribution and identifies the curve.

† HEIGHT=value

specifies the height of the text for traditional graphics.

NCOLS=n

specifies the number of columns of (label, value) pairs displayed in an inset located in the top or bottom margin. The default value is three. Note: The NCOLS= option applies only when ODS Graphics is enabled.

NOFRAME

suppresses the frame drawn around the text.

POSITION=position
POS=position

determines the position of the inset. The position is a compass point keyword, a margin keyword, or a pair of coordinates (x,y). You can specify coordinates in axis percent units or axis data units. The default value is NW, which positions the inset in the upper left (northwest) corner of the display. See the section Positioning Insets.

Note: Positioning insets with coordinates is not supported for ODS Graphics output.

† REFPOINT=BR | BL | TR | TL

specifies the reference point for an inset that PROC UNIVARIATE positions by a pair of coordinates with the POSITION= option. The REFPOINT= option specifies which corner of the inset frame that you want to position at coordinates (x,y). The keywords are BL, BR, TL, and TR, which correspond to bottom left, bottom right, top left, and top right. The default value is BL. You must use REFPOINT= with POSITION=(x,y) coordinates. The option does not apply to ODS Graphics output.
