PPPLOT Statement

Summary of Options

The following tables list the PPPLOT statement options by function. For complete descriptions, see the "Dictionary of Options" section.

Distribution Options

Table 8.1 summarizes the options for requesting a specific theoretical distribution.

Table 8.1: Options for Specifying the Theoretical Distribution

BETA(beta-options)	specifies beta P-P plot
EXPONENTIAL(exponential-options)	specifies exponential P-P plot
GAMMA(gamma-options)	specifies gamma P-P plot
LOGNORMAL(lognormal-options)	specifies lognormal P-P plot
NORMAL(normal-options)	specifies normal P-P plot
WEIBULL(Weibull-options)	specifies Weibull P-P plot

Table 8.2 through Table 8.8 summarize options that specify distribution parameters and control the display of the diagonal distribution reference line. Specify these options in parentheses after the distribution option. For example, the following statements use the NORMAL option to request a normal P-P plot:

   proc capability data=measures;
      ppplot length / normal(mu=10 sigma=0.3 color=red);
   run;

The MU= and SIGMA= normal-options specify $\mu$ and $\sigma$ for the normal distribution, and the COLOR= normal-option specifies the color for the line.

Table 8.2: Distribution Reference Line Options

COLOR=color	specifies color of distribution reference line
L=linetype	specifies line type of distribution reference line
NOLINE	suppresses the distribution reference line
SYMBOL='character'	specifies plotting character for line printer
W=n	specifies width of distribution reference line

Table 8.3: Beta-Options

ALPHA=value	specifies shape parameter $\alpha$
BETA=value	specifies shape parameter $\beta$
SIGMA=value	specifies scale parameter $\sigma$
THETA=value	specifies lower threshold parameter $\theta$

Table 8.4: Exponential-Options

SIGMA=value	specifies scale parameter $\sigma$
THETA=value	specifies threshold parameter $\theta$

Table 8.5: Gamma-Options

ALPHA=value	specifies shape parameter $\alpha$
SIGMA=value	specifies scale parameter $\sigma$
THETA=value	specifies threshold parameter $\theta$

Table 8.6: Lognormal-Options

SIGMA=value	specifies shape parameter $\sigma$
THETA=value	specifies threshold parameter $\theta$
ZETA=value	specifies scale parameter $\zeta$

Table 8.7: Normal-Options

MU=value	specifies mean $\mu$
SIGMA=value	specifies standard deviation $\sigma$

Table 8.8: Weibull-Options

C=value	specifies shape parameter c
SIGMA=value	specifies scale parameter $\sigma$
THETA=value	specifies threshold parameter $\theta$

General Options

Table 8.9 through Table 8.11 list options that control the appearance of the plots.

Table 8.9: General Plot Layout Options

HREF=value-list	specifies reference lines perpendicular to the horizontal axis
HREFLABELS='label1' ... 'labeln'	specifies line labels for HREF=lines
NOFRAME	suppresses frame around plotting area
SQUARE	displays P-P plot in square format
VREF=value-list	specifies reference lines perpendicular to the vertical axis
VREFLABELS='label1' ... 'labeln'	specifies line labels for VREF= lines

Table 8.10: Options to Enhance Plots Produced On Line Printers

HREFCHAR='character'	specifies line character for HREF=lines
NOOBSLEGEND	suppresses legend for hidden points
PPSYMBOL='character'	specifies character for plotted points
VREFCHAR='character'	specifies line character for VREF= lines

Table 8.11: Options to Enhance Plots Produced On Graphics Devices

ANNOTATE=SAS-data-set	provides an annotate data set
CAXIS=color	specifies color for axis
CFRAME=color	specifies color for frame
CHREF=color	specifies color for HREF=lines
