Hello
I used proc gee to estimate initial values for parameters.
proc gee data=new;
class var1 id ;
Model res= var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6 var7 / dist= mult;
repeated subject=id / logor=exch;
run;
Also I used these codes to find s1,s2 and s12.
proc means data=new STD;
var PP LL;
run;
&
proc corr data=new ;
var PP LL;
run;
But I have problem with estimate of the s1, s2 and s12 in PROC NLMIXED and receive different errors. The result for my parameters is meaningless.

As you can see, the p-values for second joint variables are meaningless. So the results do not seem correct.
How can I find the best s1, s2 and s12 for my joint model?
Thanks for your answer.
