Adjusting for variables in mixed effects models

[harcluna]

*/Hello,*/; 

*/I'm creating a mixed-effects repeated model (SAS v9.4 on Mac) to compare the value of y in men (0) versus women (1) over time (days). I would like to adjust for age and employment. I do have some missing values that are missing at random (as opposed to missing completely at random)*/;

data a;
input age employment sex pt_id day y;
cards;

Hi, it doesn't appear you have actually asked a question that we can help with. It doesn't appear that you have stated a reason for dis-satisfaction for the results you are getting from your code.

Hello,

Sorry, for the ambiguity. My main question is I'm not sure if my code is adjusting for age and employment. This is my first time using the proc mixed function for this sort of model and I wanted to be sure my code was appropriate.

Thanks again.
