All,
I am a student and keep getting an error when setting up estimate and contrast statements. I'm trying to build a model for the association between mean glucose and exercise status, and control for possible confounding. Below is the log, and I keep getting this error message "Effects used in the ESTIMATE statement must have appeared previously in the MODEL statement." I don't understand why I keep getting this - the variables 'waist' and 'diabetes' are in the model statement. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong/can help me out?
Thanks!
89 proc glm data=testdata1;
90 class diabetes;
91 model glucose = waist diabetes/solution;
92 estimate 'diabetes: waist = 80' diabetes 1 -1 waist*diabetes 80 -80;
ERROR: Effects used in the ESTIMATE statement must have appeared previously in the MODEL
statement.

93 estimate 'diabetes: waist = 110' diabetes 1 -1 waist*diabetes 110 -110;
ERROR: Effects used in the ESTIMATE statement must have appeared previously in the MODEL

94 estimate 'diabetes: waist = 140' diabetes 1 -1 waist*diabetes 140 -140;

95 contrast '80 vs. 90' diabetes 1 -1 waist*diabetes 80 -80, diabetes 1 -1 waist*diabetes 90
95 ! -90;
ERROR: Effects used in the CONTRAST statement must have appeared previously in the MODEL

Yes the variables are there but they only define the main effects effect for each variable. You need to include the interaction effect waist*diabetes.
you can use vertical bar
glucose = waist | diabetes;

Thank you. I updated that line to model glucose = waist exercise waist*exercise/solution;
It worked.
