| Type of Tool | SAS Macro |
| Title | Boxplot |
| Programmer/Email | ArthurWatts |
| Contributing Site | Rochester |
| Description | This set of Macros creates side-by-side boxplots by grouping variables with similar ranges onto the same graph. This is a quick way to check the distribution of several variables. This procedure can also be used after calling the Deltas macro, to check the distribution of changes from baseline. |
