Using more than one dependent variable in the model statement of proc mixed

[JessicaM]

Hi everyone,

I am wonder if i can use more than 1 dependent variable in the model statement of proc mixed? If so, how could i do that?

Thank you!!

From the PROC MIXED documentation:

MODEL dependent = <fixed-effects> </ options>;

It allows you to state a dependent (which is singular, in other words you can have only one) variable in the MODEL statement.

Google finds many answers however, this is just one answer found: https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings/proceedings/sugi23/Stats/p229.pdf

Here's an example of PROC GLIMMIX with a bivariate outcome variable:

The GLIMMIX Procedure

Example 51.5 Joint Modeling of Binary and Count Data

You can also do joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event (survival) data.

You can google and you will find material from the Belgian bio-stat professors Geert Verbeke and Geert Molenberghs (and some of their PhD students).
