Robbins

• Creating More Effective Graphics by Naomi Robbins is a wonderful book showing the right and wrong ways to visualize scientific data. Read it when you have an afternoon off. It is an ideal read on a transcontinental flight.

3

How I do graphics

• Exploratory stuff– Use the quick and dirty graphics built into EG

• Production quality graphics– Write SAS or R code to make better looking

graphics– Edit in Adobe Illustrator

4

Visualization Tools

• This is a excellent book that covers how to visualize stuff using many tools (including R). It has a great introduction to Adobe Illustrator.

5

Why Do Data Visualization?

• Well designed pictures will show you the details and the whole pattern in your data.

• Numeric descriptions can easily hide important information.

• Some patterns are hard to detect in tables.– Whenever data is reported over time or locations,

you need art.

YOU CAN LEARN A LOT BY JUST LOOKING.-Yogi Berra

Bad Things

• First, I want to talk about bad graphics that I frequently see.– 3d– Pie– Donuts– Stacked graphics

9

General

• 3D graphics

– Don’t, Don’t, Don’tWhile the SAS implementation of 3D graphics is relatively good, don’t use 3D effects, unless you are measuring something in 3D. Even then, don’t.

10

Tufte is a God to many.

• The empiricist in me is very nervous about the amount of pontificating in his books…– I want to have evidence-based advice.

• His best advice is to put no extra ink on the page.– Think about the ink-to-information ratio.– Remove all chart junk.

Note: the irony of the chart junk on this slide….

11

Example Bar ChartSerum Samples in Each Trimester

You can remove ink rather than adding .

12

Ink-to-Information Ratio

• How much ink for seven numbers?

Based on Soukup & Davidson, 2002 Visual Data Mining

13

Cleveland

• If you want to know how to do scientific visualization, you must read William Cleveland’s work.– He attempted to quantify what makes a good graphic good.

• His early work on graphics is one of the reasons why R/S-plus is taking over the statistical world.

14

Pie is bad.

• Work by Cleveland (and experimental psychologists) suggests that:– people are bad at judging the relative magnitude of angles – if you twist the rotation of the pie you can cause people to

systematically misjudge the size of the angles– a 3rd dimension makes judgment worse

• If you get a glossy handout with a 3D pie, assume someone is lying to you.

• Don’t use them.

15

Don’t Explode!

• This exploded 3D pie (brought to you by Excel) is nearly useless for judging amounts.

Total

tweakedtwistedwrecked

16

Forbidden Donut….

• Donut plots have the same problems as pies (if not worse) ….

17

Stacking is Bad

• Cleveland also quantified the fact that people are bad at judging the relative height of stacked data.

18

Wow, a cinnamon roll plot!

• Good luck making rapid judgments using this stacked 3D pie.

19

What is a good graphic?

• Don’t make your audience think unnecessarily!– The point of the graphic should stand out instantly.– Plot the quantity (inference) that you want people to

notice.• Show the central tendency and the variability.• Minimize the amount of ink on the page.• Be sure colorblind people can understand it.

– Use a black and white photocopier and make sure you can distinguish all groups.

SAS's Framingham Heart Data

What is the point of this graphic?

28

29

When you test for the difference in the mean SAS gives you a great plot.

30

Avoid Thinking

• Put labels on the graphic directly instead of using a key.

• If you want people to compare the difference between two lines, plot the difference, not the two lines.

31

Bivariate Comparisons with Lines

• People are extremely bad at judging the distance between two curves. Never ask people to judge up and down (vertical) distances between curves.

Based on: Robbins Creating More Effective Graphs, 2005

The distance between the two curves is the same at all points.

32

Plot Types

• Univariate (one variable)– Categorical variables

• Bar charts• Dot plots• Waffle plots

– Continuous variables• Histogram• Box plot• Violin plots

33

Bar Charts

• The ink-to-information ratio is lousy.• A one dimensional quantity is being

“expanded” into two dimensions. – Doubling of the amount corresponds to how much

of an increase in area?

34

SAS Bar Charts

• SAS makes the reader do extra work by rotating the axis labels in ActiveX images.

• They pointlessly include variable labels by default.

35

How to do it?

Notice you can Edit the data and apply filters.

You can right click on variables and apply user-defined formats off the

Properties dialog.

36

First create the format.

In the Data windowpane of the Bar Chart GUI, right click on the variable and change the format to the User Defined format you had created.

37

The GUI is Solid

• My only complaints are that the rotate grouping values text does not work (position in this example) and the summary statistics do not show up when you request ActiveX images.

38

ActiveX image format

39

Saving the Graphic for Publication

• The easiest way to get publication quality graphics is to set the output type to be RTF.

40

Default Output and Graphics

• The default graphic format in EG is ActiveX. These images can be edited (even on the web) but they only display with Internet Explorer. I have set my graphics to display as ActiveX images. Tweak this with Tools> Options… > Graph.

41

42

Types of Images

• The default formats of the images are determined by the ODS destinations you are using:– LISTING: pgn visible in the Windows Image Fax Viewer– HTML: png, gif, jpg contained in web pages and visible in

Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera– LATEX: PostScrpt, epsi, gif, jpeg, pgn are visible in GhostView– PCL or PS: contained in Postscript file are visible in GhostView– PDF: contained in pdf, which is visible with Adobe Reader– RTF: visible in MS Word

• RTF graphics are done at 300 dpi by default

43

What is ODS?

• The Output Delivery System (ODS) controls the type and appearance (aka the style) of SAS output.

Different appearance templates

Different output destinations/types.

44

You can browse the ODS appearance templates from the Style Manager on the Tools menu.

45

I Typically Use HTML

This says the images should show tooltips with extra statistical details when you hover the mouse over parts of the graphic. (I can’t image these.)

This is the appearance template. For optimal results use:Analysis: colorDefault : overdistinguishes symbols for color or B&WJournal or journal2, etc: black and whiteStatistical or statistical2, etc: color

Include image_dpi = 300 to set the resolution to be higher than the default 100 dots per inch. Try 300 for final images pasting into MS Office.

46

ods graphics on;

• This turns on the ODS statistical graphics.• Behind the scenes this combines your data

with a pre-specified description of what to plot and the aesthetics of the appearance.

Useful ods graphics options

• ods graphics on /

• ods graphics / reset;

• ods graphics off;

Width = 8inHeight = 11inImagefmt = jpgimagename = thingyimagefmt = staticmap ;

Make a series of graphics

called thingy1,

thingy2, etc.

If you set only width or height, it will use a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Reset the graphic counter back to 1

Use pop-up tooltips with

details.

48

49

ODS SGraphics

• Compared to the competition, for the last 10 years SAS graphics have been between poor and pathetic.– Graphics procedures rendered with okay quality,

at best .– No “what you see is what you get” editing.– Many plots were nearly impossible to render.– Custom graphics required extensive programming.

• SAS 9.x has attempted to solve this problem.

50

Old vs. New Procedures

• The old (commonly used) graphics procedures were gchart, gplot.

• Now most analysis procedures have built in high quality graphics that can be invoked with an ODS graphics on statement.– Early on in the class I told you to tweak the EG

options to include “ODS graphics on” with every run.

• There are also new “easy to use” statistical graphics (sg) procedures.

51

New Graphics Statistical Graphics Procs

• proc sgPlot– general plotting procedure that replaces gplot

• proc sgScatter– lots of tools for scatterplots and scatter matrices

• proc sgPanel– quick and easy trellis/lattice/matrix/panel of plots

• Proc sgRender– used with proc template to make totally custom plots– It replaces proc greplay

52

Plot Types

• Univariate (one variable)– Categorical variables

• Bar charts• Dot plots• Waffle plots

– Continuous variables• Histogram• Box plot• Violin plots• Quantile and QQ plots

53

You can get an okay looking graphic using sgpanel.

Categorical variables

54

I was able to get exactly the graphic I wanted using R.

Categorical variables

55

If you want to use R

• Download R for Mac or PC cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/ cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/base

56

If you use a PC, also get PERL and Tinn-R

• PERL is a text manipulation language that is used by a couple of key R packages. It ships with Mac OS X. PC users can get ActivePerl (what I use) or Strawberry Perl for Windows.

www.perl.org/get.html • Tinn-R is a text editor that knows the R

language.sourceforge.net/projects/tinn-r/

57

R Help

• R help files are user hostile. To learn about the options for dotchart type:

?dotchart• Use: rseek.org

58

Browse

• To see why people use R for graphics look here:addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php

59

Additional Libraries

• If you see sample code that includes require() or library(), you will need to do a onetime download of the additional package. If you are using Vista, run R as the administrator (by right clicking on the R icon instead of just double clicking ) to install and update packages.

60

Waffle Plots (aka pixel plots)

• I have not found software to do them.

Grouped Categorical Variables

• To graph categorical data in SAS you need to get Michael Friendly’s Visualizing Categorical Data. Unfortunately, his macros are copyrighted with the book… So I will show you the R versions.– Fourfold plots– Mosaic plots– Association plots

Grouped categorical variables

67

Fourfold Plots

• They draw 4 slices of pie with the area corresponding to the number of people in each cell of a 2x2 table and they have confidence bands such that if the confidence bounds overlap on adjacent pie pieces, they are not statistically significantly different.

Grouped categorical variables

Mosaic Plots

• So you have an contingency table and you want to know if there is as an association. You do a chi-square test and it says there are associations between the rows and columns. What next?

Bisquare• Figure out what is an odd value and then put a weight on it to

devalue it. There are many robust regression algorithms around. R and S-Plus software have them well implemented.

Loess and Splines

• Loess is a technique essentially creates a rolling window and gets a weighted average across the values visible inside the window.

• Splines are curved lines that allow different amounts of stiffness to the curves.

Tweaking Specialized Plots

• Most analysis procedures now have customized high resolution graphics. Most are automatically produced if you type ods graphics on.

• Proc Freq

– I wanted a deviation plot for a 2x2 (or really any sized table) showing which cell is driving a significant chi-square. They only give you a plot for a one-way table.

– The ORPlot is very nice.

Grouped continuous variables

90

Specifying the plot name is optional in proc freq.

Turn on editable

graphics with ods listing sge= on.

92

ODS Graphics Editor with EG

• If you want to do extensive tweaking to a graphic, you can use the WYSIWYG ODS Graphics editor. Unfortunately it only works with ODS graphics procedures and you need to rerun the code in SAS to invoke it.

93

Move code from EG to SAS

1. Use the query builder to put your data in a permanent SAS library (not the work library).

2. Right click on the graphic node which is run on data in a permanent library and choose Open… Open Last Submitted Code.

3. Copy the code beginning with the SQL that makes the data.

4. Start SAS and paste the code into the program editor.

94

Move all your code to SAS• Because the ODS graphics editor is not in EG

(yet), you can export the entire set of code for the project and then rerun it in SAS.

95

ODS Graphics Editor with EG(2)

• After exporting all your EG project, open the code in SAS and add these lines at the top of the program:

ods rtf file = "c:\blah\somefile.rtf";ods listing sge = on;

• Then open the graphic of interest.

96

97

WYSIWYG Editing

• Right click and/or double click to set properties for objects in the plot.

The tool is optimized for some of the ODS style templates but you can use custom colors.

98

• Right click on things to set properties. – Colors, text details, fonts– Point and click annotation– Symbols, arrows, text, circles

99

WYSIWYG Editing

• While the Statistical graphics editor is a much needed improvement, it is incomplete. You can only use a few, style templates (for setting default colors and such) and you can not use custom style templates. This means that you can not do critical tasks like manually set the color for different values in scatter plots.

100

Too Many Graphics

• If the ods graphics on statement gives you too many graphics, you can specify which graphics you want by including code designed for the procedure. Typically it looks like this: plot(only) = (table names). This design is poorly implemented because you need to know where to put the plot statement and what the table names are. Does it go on the proc line (like phreg), the tables line (like proc freq), or some other line? Also the table names specified with a plot statement do not always match the ODS table names.

101

• Usually you can use an ODS exclude statement or an ODS select statement to pick the correct things to print. Using the plots(only) = syntax is more efficient.

102

Proc phreg has a lot of new features but nothing major in the graphics. With phreg, if you specify ods graphics on you do not automatically get any plots. Here I request survival and cumulative hazard plots including the global confidence limits option (cl).

Once again the option names are not consistent with the table names.

103

Proc lifetest can show the number at risk but the implementation is weak. It labels the groups with numbers even if the strata are character strings. You have to manually edit them and this affords ample opportunity for mistakes.I don’t see a way to change the censoring symbol in the legend.

This shows the number of people at risk after 20, 40 etc days.

104

Splitting a Grid

• Some procedures produce a grid of plots. You can get access to the individual plots by specifying plots(unpack). Then you can use plots(only)=tableName to get just the right parts.

• ODS select or exclude statements will not work.

105

plots(GlobalOptionsGoHere). The global options apply to all graphics in this procedure.

106

Beyond the Basic Univariate plots

• There are 4 SG procedures that allow you to build up complex univariate plots and do multivariate (trellis/lattice) plots.

107

New Graphics Statistical Graphics Procs

• proc sgPlot– general plotting procedure that replaces gplot

• proc sgScatter– lots of tools for scatterplots and scatter matrices

• proc sgPanel– quick and easy trellis/lattice/matrix/panel of plots

• Proc sgRender– used with proc template to make totally custom plots– It replaces proc greplay

108

proc sgPlot

• Basic plots– scatter, series, band, needle

• Fits curves and generates confidence bounds– loess, regression, penalized b-splines, ellipse

• Distributions– boxplots, histograms, normal curves, kernel

density• Categorization

– dot plots, bar charts, line chartsFrom Heath 2007. SAS/Graph procedures for creating statistical graphics

109

onLineDoc helps (some)

• onlineDoc for sgplot needs a LOT more hyperlinks and examples. Find these pages:

• The SGPLOT Procedure: Overview• The SGPLOT Procedure: Examples• The SGPLOT Procedure: Procedure Syntax

110

As you add more requests to the plot, it resizes and shifts things to make room. It draws them in the order you request them. It reads the requests from the first listed to the bottom. Change the order if you want to have an item appear layered on top of, or behind, another thing.

Some colors are not set yet in the enhanced editor. Use the menu Tools>Options>Enhanced Editor… then click User Defined Keywords to add the coloring.

121

Customizing graphics

• You can tweak the graphics that ship with SAS by modifying their graph template or you can create truly custom graphics by making your own statistical graph template.

Your data

Graphtemplate

Styletemplate

122

If you do not want to explain what Kernel density estimation is…

remove the lines.

123

Finding the template

• Add before the procedure that draws the graphic add ods trace on; and include ods trace off; afterwards. This prints the names of all the templates used by the procedure in the log. product.procedure.Graphis.TemplateName

124

Looking at a Template

• You can ask proc template to display the template with the source statement:

proc template;source stat.ttest.graphics.summary2;

run;

• Remember to type this before you start editing:

ods path(prepend) work.template (update);

125

Don’t Panic

This is a complete template except for the

proc template statement here and a run statement at the

bottom.

Copy this into an editor window and add proc

template.

126

After adding proc template and commenting out the Kernel statements rerun the code.

127

Oops. Unknown key words…

• You can fix the color coding on the template code easily.

128

Fixed (permanently)

All your subsequent plots will have no density line.

129

Details on that new template.

• You can ask SAS to list, into the log, all the locations where the graphics templates are stored by using the command ods path show:

Your new template is stored here.

The untouchable

original is here but it is “masked” by the 1st one.

130

Want a temporary template?

• You can request that your templates go into work instead of SASUSER with the command:ods path (prepend) work.template (update);

• When you quit SAS the template will be deleted along with everything else in work.

131

Dynamic variables allow the same template to work with lots of datasets

132

dynamic

• You can see what things/variables are being passed to a template by a procedure by printing it in a title:

proc template;define statgraph Stat.Ttest.Graphics.Summary2; notes "Comparative histograms with normal/kernel densities and boxplots, (two-sample)"; dynamic _Y1 _Y2 _Y _VARNAME _XLAB _SHORTXLAB _CLASS1 _CLASS2 _CLASSNAME _LOGNORMAL _OBSVAR; BeginGraph; entrytitle "Does _Y1 exist? " eval(exists(_Y1)) " It is the value: " _Y1; entrytitle2 "Does _VARNAME exist? " eval(exists(_VARNAME)) " It is the value: " _VARNAME; *entrytitle "Distribution of " _VARNAME;

This resolves to 1 or 0 depending on if the variable is used.

133

entrytitle "Does _Y1 exist? " eval(exists(_Y1)) " It is the value: " _Y1;

134

Setting dynamic Variables

• You can set the values of dynamic variables when you call them:

proc sgrender data = blah template= thing;dynamic _var1Label= 'Dude';

run;

135

SGPlot vs Template

• You can replicate everything done with proc sgplot using the template language but don’t reinvent the wheel if you don’t need to.

• You will want to use proc template to build custom graphics that use many panels.

• Proc sgplot uses statements that start like reg but template uses names like regressionplot. – Similar but not identical names… boo.

What styles?

You can use the GUI to look at the details of the styles or you can explore them with code:

proc template;source styles.statistical;

run;

• This template includes sections for:fonts IndexTitle

There are a LOT of different parts of a template that can be tweaked.

144

Your Own Style Template

• You can customize a style template based on another:

proc template;define style myStyle;

parent = styles.Statistical;style graphdata1 from graphdata1/ color = colors('docbg'); style graphdata2 from graphdata1/ color = violet; style graphdata3 from graphdata1/ color = turquoise; style GraphFonts from GraphFonts /

'GraphDataFont' = ("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>", 9pt); end;

run;

Make the graphic element match the background of

graphic (invisible camouflage)

Change the appearance of the font used for labeling data elements.

Use everything in the statistical template except

tweaks listed below.

145

To get a list of known colors

proc registry liststartat="COLORNAMES";

run;

146

About the colors

• You can pick colors by names or specifying details

12th item in grouped data

Contrast around 12th item in grouped data (typically

confidence bounds)

147

About those colors

• The weird color names are colors in RGB hexadecimal format prefixed with "cx"

• Go play at kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor

148

Using the style template

• Once the style is created you can apply it to an ODS destination (pipeline) with code like:

ods listing style= myStyle;* stuff goes here;ods listing close;

• or something like this:ods html style= myStyle;ods graphics on / width = 11in height = 11in; proc sgrender data=whatWhen template=blockplot1; run; ods html close;

149

How to set the color for a histogram

150

proc sgplot data = fram;histogram weight / fillattrs = (color = coral);

run;

151

You can also tweak the style template

152

Tweaking the Style Template

proc template;define style myStyle;

parent = styles.Statistical;style GraphDataDefault / color=coral;

end;run;

ods html style = myStyle;proc sgplot data = fram;

histogram weight ;run;ods html close;

153

vbar Version

proc sgplot data = fram;vbar weight / group = sex;

run;

154

proc sgplot data = fram;vbar weight / group = sex;xaxis fitpolicy = thin ;

run;

155

proc template;define style myStyle;parent = styles.Statistical;

style graphdata1 from graphdata1 / contrastColor=pink color = pink;

style graphdata2 from graphdata1 / contrastColor=blue color = blue;

end;run;

ods html style = myStyle;proc sgplot data = fram;

vbar weight / group = sex;xaxis fitpolicy = thin ;

run;ods html close;

156

What is the Current color?

proc template;source styles.default;

Setting Colors … The Hard Wayproc template;

define statgraph TABLENAME;begingraph;

entrytitle '';layout overlay ;

histogram v / fillattrs = (color = black) outlineattrs =

(color=orange) ;endlayout;

endgraph;end;

run;proc sgrender data = blah template = TABLENAME; run;

158

Footnotes

• In the template use:entryfotnote halign=left textattrs=graphvaluetext "TEXT";

• or use the %modtmplt macrotitle;footnote "halign=left textattrs=graphvaluetext 'blah' ";%modtmplt(template=NAME, step=t, options titles noquotes)

• Use the template then delete temp version:%modtmplt(template= NAME, step=d)

Search online doc for modtmplt and look at this: http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/papers/modtmplt.pdf.

The syntax for proc template vs. proc sgplot

• The following slides marked with:

show the syntax that I have written into enhanced editor keyboard macros for sgplot and template.

• So, after downloading and installing the keyboard macros use the title on the following slides and it will auto-complete with useful syntax.
