Then, subsequent processing can be done on the transformed data. So, it is useful to view the histogram of the transformed data. Often users wan to see if their data, or some transform, has a normal distribution. Valuesdisplay=(" " "10" "20" "30" "40" "50" "60" "70" "80" "90" "100") label='MPG' ĭiscussing with experts here at SAS, the second and third graphs above have more practical uses instead for the first one. A tick value is displayed at each value provided in the Values option, but the actual text displayed is from the valuesDisplay option. In the graph on the right we have replaced the x- axis values (log scale) with their respective untransformed linear values at equal spacing using the ValuesDisplay option. Note the x axis tick values and axis label. This will create the graph shown here, where each bin is now has a constant pixel size. Then use logMpg as the analysis variable for the histogram. First, we create a new data column logMpg=Log10(mpg_city). On the right is a graph of the log transformed data on a default axis. Now, each bin has equal pixel width, representing the transformed data.
A transformed variable is used instead of the original variable. Note, each bin represents the same amount of the data, but the widths of the bins in pixels are reducing as we go to the left due to the log axis.Ģ. Using the sashelp.cars data set, the first case on the right shows a histogram of the original data in linear space, on a LOG x axis. When displayed on a log axis, the bins are drawn with varying pixel width. This histogram has equal width bins in linear data space. Histogram of the linear values, displayed on a log x axis. This could mean one of these two cases:ġ.
Before we get into her specific case, let us first clarify what we may want to see when we say "Histogram on Log Axis". One such question came up this weekend, where a user wanted a histogram of her data using log axis. Often there are questions from users on creating histogram using a Log X axis.
