3. PROC GENMOD
Bayesian Analysis of a Linear Regression Model:

Here is a study of 54 patients undergoing a certain kind of liver operation in a surgical unit. The data set Surg contains survival time and certain covariates for each patient.

14

SAS/STAT

15

SAS/STAT

BAYES : produces Bayesian analysis via Gibbs sampling for most of the statistical analyses. SEED: specifies randomization seed. It is used to maintain reproducibility.

OUTPUT : saves the samples in the SAS data set PostSurg for further processing.
By default, a uniform prior distribution is assumed on the regression coefficients. A noninformative gamma prior is used for the scale parameter sigma. ODS Graphics is enabled as specified in the SAS statements to display the diagnostic plots.

There is a 1.00 probability of a positive relationship between the logarithm of a blood clotting score and survival time, adjusted for the other covariates.

4. PROC GLIMMIX
Comparison btw GLIMMIX and other procedures

1) Response can have a nonnormal distribution (MIXED assumes normally distributed response.) 2) Incorporates random effects in the model and so allows for conditional and marginal inference (GENMOD allows only for marginal inference.)

3) The class of generalized linear mixed models is a special case of the nonlinear mixed models; hence some of the models you can fit with NLMIXED can also be fit with GLIMMIX.
(The details can be found in the SAS help documentation.)

SAS/STAT
Logistic Regressions with Random Intercepts Researchers investigated the performance of banks in a multicenter study. They randomly selected 15 centers. One of the study goals was to compare the occurrence of loan defaults for the banks. In each center two types of banks were selected and coded as A" and "B. Under each type, there are a few of banks selected for the study.

20

SAS/STAT
To model the probability of defaults happened in the two types of banks: A and B, you need to account for the fixed group effect and the random selection of centers. We assume a linear model that relates group and center effects to the logit of the probabilities:

A-B measures the difference in the logits. 0 is the overall intercept in the model.
21

SAS/STAT

CLASS : specifies the classification variables. MODEL : specifies response variable as a sample proportion by using the events/n syntax. SOLUTION : requests a list of solutions for fix-effects parameter estimates. Because the default/n syntax, the procedure gives binomial distribution with logit link.

RANDOM : specifies that the linear predictor contains an intercept term that randomly varies at the level of center effect. In other words, a random intercept is drawn separately and independently for each center in the study.
LSMEANS : requests the least squares means of the group effect on the logit scale. ILINK : adds estimates, standard errors, and confidence limits on the mean 22 (probability) scale .

PROC COUNTREG:
Poisson regression Negative binomial regression with linear (NEGBIN1) and quadratic (NEGBIN2) variance functions (Cameron and Trivedi 1986) New: Zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model (Lambert 1992) New: Zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) model

SAS/ETS
ZIP and ZINB Models for Data Exhibiting Extra Zeros

An often encountered characteristic of count data is that the number of zeros in the sample exceeds the number of zeros predicted by either the Poisson or negative binomial model.

Zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) models explicitly model the production of zero counts to account for excess zeros.

27

SAS/ETS
This study examines how factors such as gender (fem), marital status (mar), number of young children (kid5), prestige of the graduate program (phd), and number of articles published by a scientists mentor (ment), affect the number of articles (art) published by the scientist.
