This example illustrates how to create a histogram. A semiconductor manufacturer produces printed circuit boards that are
sampled to determine the thickness of their copper plating. The following statements create a data set named Trans, which contains the plating thicknesses (Thick) of 100 boards:
data Trans; input Thick @@; label Thick = 'Plating Thickness (mils)'; datalines; 3.468 3.428 3.509 3.516 3.461 3.492 3.478 3.556 3.482 3.512 3.490 3.467 3.498 3.519 3.504 3.469 3.497 3.495 3.518 3.523 3.458 3.478 3.443 3.500 3.449 3.525 3.461 3.489 3.514 3.470 3.561 3.506 3.444 3.479 3.524 3.531 3.501 3.495 3.443 3.458 3.481 3.497 3.461 3.513 3.528 3.496 3.533 3.450 3.516 3.476 3.512 3.550 3.441 3.541 3.569 3.531 3.468 3.564 3.522 3.520 3.505 3.523 3.475 3.470 3.457 3.536 3.528 3.477 3.536 3.491 3.510 3.461 3.431 3.502 3.491 3.506 3.439 3.513 3.496 3.539 3.469 3.481 3.515 3.535 3.460 3.575 3.488 3.515 3.484 3.482 3.517 3.483 3.467 3.467 3.502 3.471 3.516 3.474 3.500 3.466 ;
The following statements create the histogram shown in Output 4.14.1.
title 'Analysis of Plating Thickness'; ods graphics off; proc univariate data=Trans noprint; histogram Thick; run;
The NOPRINT option in the PROC UNIVARIATE statement suppresses tables of summary statistics for the variable Thick that would be displayed by default. A histogram is created for each variable listed in the HISTOGRAM statement.
A sample program for this example, uniex08.sas, is available in the SAS Sample Library for Base SAS software.
