SAS syntax processing for tick species distribution, according to the following design:

Dear colleagues; I am beginner SAS software learner. I am in problem to analyze the data of tick species in particular districts collected. I want to analyze the data in linear Poisson distribution or regression according to their fixed effects of sex of ticks of each species in male and female, ticks count in each sample number, tick counts in each district (kebele) and ticks count in each species as per the Generalized linear Model I formulated below.

Please help to design the SAS syntax derive to find the ticks count depending on each species and fixed effects I showed above.

The linear Model:

Yijklmnopqr = μ + Ki + Sj + Ak + Bl + Cm + Dn + Eo + Fp + Gq + Hr + Is + Hr + Is + Jt + Ku + Nx + Mw + Lv + eijkl

key

Where:-

Yhijklmnopqrstuvwx = response random variable (ticks count)

μ = over all mean

Kh = fixed effect due to hth kebele tick count (h = 1 to 7)(Kebele or district)

Z i = random effect due to ith sample number (S_Nr) (1 to 768)

Sj = fixed effect due to jth sex tick count (male=1, female=0) (SEX)

Ak = random effect due to kth count on species Hyaloma Truncatum

Bl = random effect due to lth count on species Hyaloma rufins

Cm = random effect due to mth count on species Hyaloma Impeltatum

Dn = random effect due to nth count on species Amblyoma Variegatum

Eo = random effect due to oth count on species Ambleoma Hebraem

Fp = random effect due to pth count on species Amblyoma Gemma

Gq = random effect due to qth count on species Amblyoma Cohreans

Hr = random effect due to rth count on species Rhipiciphalus Pulchilis

Is = random effect due to sth count on species Rhipiciphalus Eversti Eversti

Jt= random effect due to tth count on species Rhipiciphalus Appendiculatus

Ku= random effect due to uth count on species Rhipiciphalus Decoloratus

Lv= random effect due to yth count on species Rhipiciphalus Pravus

Mw= random effect due to wth count on species Rhipiciphalus Simus

Nx= random effect due to xth count on species Boophilus

eijklmnopqrstuvwx = random error effect

Here are the keys I used to load on the SAS software; but further so many time I tried but there is no out put.

/* Afar cattle hard ticks (Ixodidae) distribution based on species level in some selected kebeles; Mebrate Genet Gebre */

/* Location area = kebele; Sample number = S_Nr; SEX = sex of the ticks; species Hyaloma Truncatum = H_TR; species Hyaloma Rufins = H_RF*/

/* species Hyaloma Impeltatum = H_IMP; species Amblyoma Variegatum = A_VAR; species Ambleoma Hebraem = A_HEB; species Amblyoma Gemma = A_GM */

/* Amblyoma Cohreans = A_COH; Rhipiciphalus Pulchilis = R_PUL; Rhipiciphalus Eversti Eversti = R_EV; Rhipiciphalus Appendiculatus= R_Ap*/

/* species Rhipiciphalus Decoloratus = R_DEC; species Rhipiciphalus Pravus = R_PR; species Rhipiciphalus Simus= R_SIM; sub-genus Boophilus = Sub_GB */

I want if you please can insert the rest syntax to command the SAS further analysis, based on GLM, linear Poisson distribution of tick counts. I want least square means for kebele, sex and for ticks each species if possible, means, graphs output for each species. ticks counts are subdivided in to not only species but also in to individual sex of each tick. (N.B. : - tick are external parasites on cattle)

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Question2: -

The effects of body condition score and sex on tick burden.

This model is used to study the tick burden effect according to the animal’s sex and body condition score. This means how is the prevalence of ticks (ticks count) on an individual animal as per its sex and body condition score.

GLM Model: -

Yijkl = μ + Sk + Ul + eijkl

Where: -

Yijk = individual observation for tick burden (tick count response variable).

μ = overall mean for tick burden.

Sk = fixed effect due to kth Sex (1=male, 2=female)

Ul = fixed effect due to nth Body Condition Score (1:lean to 4:conditioned)

eijkl = is a random error.

/* Afar cattle hard ticks (Ixodidae) burden on cattle (predilaction sites) in some selected kebeles; Mebrate Genet Gebre */

/* Location area = kebele; Sample number = S_Nr; SEX =sex of the cattle; BCS = body condition score of the cattle* /

/* predilaction sites: Annu-vulva = AN_VUL; udder-scortum = UD/SC; Dewlap = DEW; Abdomen = ABD; Neck = NEC; Ear = EA */

/* Number of engorged female ticks = F_T; body condition score is scored as: conditioned (cond), Medium, Fair (better), lean (thin) */

Thank you for the help. Not yet I am beginner, I will do my best and post my problem again. I have four problems to be solved and I think they are too elementary. If I will be not able to solve through the hints you sent me again I will post it again.
