How do I use either PROC LOGISTIC or PROC GENMOD to create a logistic model without an explanatory variable?

[mconover]

I am trying to figure out how to create a logistic model that has no explanatory variables (to act a my "null model).  Can I do this using either PROC LOGISTIC or PROC GENMOD?

I have included my coding below for:

• The logistic model with no explanatory variable (DOESN'T WORK)
• The logistic model with a maternal age explanatory variable (WORKS SUCCESSFULLY)

THANKS

  MODEL dead = mage / LINK = logit DIST = binomial;

    symbol2 v=none i=j l=33 w=2; 

    axis1 label=('Maternal Age (Continuous)') w=3 order=(10 to 60 by 5);

  axis2 logbase=10 label = ( a = 90 'Log-Risk (95% CI) of Infant Death in < 1 Year ' )

  w = 3;

Sorry didn't mean to have dead = mage in my null model.  The coding below is what I'm trying to use (that won't work properly).

Apologies for any confusion.

RUN;

proc freq instead with the binomial option.

OK I actually figured it out.  For anybody interested, it can be completed using PROC GENMOD.  I was missing the = after my outcome term (see below)

PROC GENMOD DATA = WORK.DATA2 DESCENDING;

  MODEL dead= / LINK = logit DIST = binomial;

  TITLE1 'NULL Log-Risk Model for Infant Death';

  OUTPUT OUT=WORK.DATA4 P=PRED L=l95 U=u95;

RUN;
