How to get rate ratio/odds ratio estimates using proc genmod exact?

jiweihe1223 — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 04:41:35 GMT

Does SAS have an option to output rate ratio estimate from exact method in proc genmod? Or do we have to compute manually?

Proc genmod data=data;
Class Treat Sex Age;
model e = Treat Sex Age/ dist=poisson link=log offset=t;
exact Treat/joint estimate;
run;

Hello,

I have moved your post to the 'Statistical Procedures' board (under the Analytics header) !

The exact method provides the parameter estimates. You can use the LSMEANS statement to compute the rate ratio. For your data, the example might look like

lsmeans Treat / ilink diff exp cl;

For a full explanation about how to get rate ratios by using the LSMEANS statement, see the article "Modeling rates and estimating rates and rate ratios."

About 75% through the article is a section titled "Rate Ratio Estimates." That section contains the information you need.

The section also shows how to use the ESTIMATE statement to estimate and test custom rate ratios

Thanks. Actually my question is about the exact method. I later found the output for rate ratio or odds ratio can be obtained by adding "estimate=both"

exact Treat/joint estimate=both;
