Risk Ratio (or Prevalence Ratio) in Proc Glimmix

aquamarrin — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 20:57:47 GMT

Is it possible to obtain risk ratio in proc glimmix. And if yes, how do I specify the base. E.g base 'male' in variable 'gender'.

Below is a template of my model:

proc glimmix data = mydata method=laplace;

class wave gender race city education;

weight wgt;

model response = gender age race education city

/ dist=poisson link=log;

random intercept / subject = wave type=vc;

run;

Any suggestion is very much appreciated,

See the SAS Note on this topic. You can probably use the log-linked binomial approach by specifying the DIST=BINOMIAL LINK=LOG options in your MODEL statement. But beware of the possible fitting problems that can result.
