ERROR: Procedure GEE not found

[freezingswallow]

Hi SAS professional,

I've just read this webpage about building weighted GEE models with PROC GEE.

The link is:

http://support.sas.com/documentation...e_syntax01.htm

But after I tried the code on my local computer (both SAS 9.3 and 9.4), I found this error message:

67 ods graphics on;

68 proc gee data = midata_new descending plot = histogram;

ERROR: Procedure GEE not found.

69 class id time ctime;

70 missmodel ctime prevy chf / type = obslevel;

71 model y = time age gender hr bmicat chf / dist = bin;

72 repeated subject = ID / within = ctime corr = cs;

73 run;

I could not figure out why this happen. Can anyone help me please?

Very appreciated!

What SAS/STAT version do you have?

proc product_status;run;

Thank you! It said:

For SAS/STAT ....

     Custom version information: 9.3

[Reeza]

And the reference you're looking at is for 13.2, so your version is older.

SAS 9.4 may be closer.

My SAS 9.3 is at 12.1 for SAS/STAT so you have an older version too.

PROC GEE was introduced in SAS/STAT 13.2, which was shipped with SAS 9.4m2.

There is some GEE analyses included with the REPEATED statement in PROC GENMOD. Here is an example: SAS/STAT(R) 12.3 User's Guide
