Quick and Easy Access to Key Elements of Documentation Includes worked examples across a wide variety of applications, tasks, and graphics A unique companion for statistical coders, Using SAS for Data Management, Statistical Analysis, and Graphics presents an easy way to learn how to perform an analytical task in SAS, without having to navigate through the extensive, idiosyncratic, and sometimes unwieldy software documentation.

Organized by short, clear descriptive entries, the book covers many common tasks, such as data management, descriptive summaries, inferential procedures, regression analysis, multivariate methods, and the creation of graphics. Through the extensive indexing, cross-referencing, and worked examples in this text, users can dire Laird, and J. Ware, , 2nd Ed. This blog post briefly shows how to implement three models in SAS that incorporate random intercepts.

The models are the response-profile model, a quadratic model, and a piecewise linear model. I've previously written about how to visualize mixed models in SAS.

One of the techniques is to create a spaghetti plot that shows the predicted response profiles for each subject in the study.

Because we will examine three different models, the following statements define a macro that will sort the predicted values and plot them in a spaghetti plot:. In the response-profile analysis, the model predicts the mean response for each treatment group. However, the baseline measurements for each subject are all different. For example, some start the trial with a blood-lead level that is higher than the mean, others start lower than the mean.

The following statements repeat the response-profile model of the previous blog post but include an intercept for each subject. In this model, the shape of the response-profile curve is the same for all subjects in each treatment group. However, the curves are shifted up or down to better match the subject's individual profile.

From the shape of the predicted response curve in the previous section, you might conjecture that a quadratic model might fit the data. Most pages contain example output, with the capabilities of mixed models and SAS software clearly explained throughout.

I have used the first edition of SAS for Mixed Models as a textbook for a second-year graduate-level course in linear models, and it has been well received by students. The chapter of case studies will be interesting reading, as we watch the experts extract information from complex experimental data including a microarray example. I look forward to using this superb compilation as a textbook.

It contains several new chapters, and its printed format makes this a much more readable version than its predecessor. We owe the authors a tip of the hat for providing such an invaluable compendium. Timothy G. Gregoire J. The second edition wonderfully updates the discussion on topics that were previously considered in the first edition, such as analysis of covariance, randomized block designs, repeated measures designs, split-plot and nested designs, spatial variability, heterogeneous variance models, and random coefficient models.

For example, it provides very useful and not otherwise generally available tools for diagnostic checks on potentially influential and outlying random and residual effects in mixed model analyses. Chapters discussing the relatively new GLIMMIX and NLMIXED procedures for generalized linear mixed model and nonlinear mixed model analyses will prove to be particularly profitable to the user requiring assistance with mixed model inference for cases involving discrete data, nonlinear functions, or multivariate specifications.

For example, code based on those two procedures is provided for problems ranging from the analysis of count data in a split-plot design to the joint analysis of survival and repeated measures data; there is also an implementation for the increasingly popular zero-inflated Poisson models with random effects!
