Hello everyone!

In a repeated measure design, pain was scored in 5 levels. The number of animals were 4 in each group. and data collected every 15 to 30 min after surgery for 720 min. Can genmod procedure help me?

thnx

Those estimates of zero are based on the parameterization.  There are a variety of ways to parameterize the model: reference, GLM, effect, polynomial, ordinal, and some orthogonal methods.

Try shifting to GLIMMIX (mostly because I am more familiar with it, so I can probably be more helpful).

proc glimmix data=dogpain method=laplace ; /* Laplace integration method */

timec=time; /* Continuous version for spatial power repeated measures */

class gp(ref=first) time(ref=first) dog;

model score=gp|time/solution dist=multinomial or(diff=all); /* Gives odds ratios for main effects */

random time/subject=dog*gp type=sp(pow)(timec);

run;

This will give type3 tests of fixed effects, which for the sample data are significant for gp, and nonsignificant for time and gp*time.

Yes it can, as can GLIMMIX.  There are good examples in the documentation of both procedures that will help you get started.

Look at Example 40.5 GEE for Binary Data with Logit Link Function to get the skeleton of code.  Then try (and I emphasize try) to change the distribution to MULTINOMIAL.  Provide the code you come up with, and I should be able to help more.

Dear SteveDenham,

I run the data according to example # 40.5. In any run I found the value of zero was estimated for gp=1. The error in Log file and some part of the results are below:

Those estimates of zero are based on the parameterization.  There are a variety of ways to parameterize the model: reference, GLM, effect, polynomial, ordinal, and some orthogonal methods.

Try shifting to GLIMMIX (mostly because I am more familiar with it, so I can probably be more helpful).

proc glimmix data=dogpain method=laplace ; /* Laplace integration method */

timec=time; /* Continuous version for spatial power repeated measures */

class gp(ref=first) time(ref=first) dog;

model score=gp|time/solution dist=multinomial or(diff=all); /* Gives odds ratios for main effects */

random time/subject=dog*gp type=sp(pow)(timec);

run;

This will give type3 tests of fixed effects, which for the sample data are significant for gp, and nonsignificant for time and gp*time.

Sort the dogs within each GP and the time within each dog:   proc sort;   by gp dog time;   run; Specify formats for the GP reference and the time reference to obtain interpretable results:  proc format;     value timefm 0="{ 0=Baseline";     value gpfm 0=" 0=Reference";  run; Specify the PROC GENMOD model so that the dependent variable is modelled with the lowest value of the dependent variable as the reference level and the reference levels of the GP and the TIME are specified (I assume that the dependent variable, COMFORT, is the same as the variable, SCORE, in your sample data set):  proc genmod descending;       class gp dog time;       model comfort=gp | time / dist=multinomial;       repeated subject=dog(gp) / corr=ind;       format gp gpfm. time timefm.; run; quit; More appropriate working correlation models for the repeated measures of time within the dogs than the independence model might be an exchangeable (compound symmetry) model or an unstructured model.  The REPEATED statement option, CORRW, doesn't print out because the independence working correlation model is an identity matrix. The model specified above converges with your data set without any errors.

GENMOD only allows the independence structure for multinomial models.  This would be a good reason, at least in my opinion, to shift to GLIMMIX.

What is going to be most difficult here would be getting the odds ratios for group 0 vs group 1 at each time point independently, if the interaction had come up as significant.  The best I can come up with would be to rerun the model, reparameterizing the entire model as a one-way analysis to get all of the possible odds ratios, and discarding those that are not of interest.  If anyone can come up with a more elegant way (equivalent to a SLICE option under LSMEANS), I want to know, so that we can start using this method for repeated scores.
