Help understanding PROC GLIMMIX statements

[nlpurumi]

Could anyone help me understand following two lines?

* random intercept / subject=trial1(subjectid group);   

--> Does it mean to report the variance due to a variable "trial"?

--> Is there a possibility that "trial" was treated as "repeated" variable in proc glimmix through this code, because proc glimmix does not have repeated statement?

* random _residual_ / group=slc;

--> I think I have a vague sense that residuals are divided by the level of slc through this code, but I am not quite understanding why we divide them. How does it take care of heteroscedasticity problem?

Thanks in advance.

You need to post more code.

What PROC is this part of for starters?

Because I received a help on this matter through other route, I want to ask a different question.

I want to build SAS code to test following equations:

Level 1 equation: Yij=β0j+β1j(SLC)+β2j(T)+β3j(SLC*T)+ rij(error)

(i: individual, j: each group)

Level 2 equations:

β0j= γ00+ γ01(G)+u0j

β1j= γ10+ γ11(G)+u1j

β2j= γ20+ γ21(G)+u2j

β3j= γ30+ γ31(G)+u3j

Will this be the good enough codes?

proc mixed data=dissertation1 ic;
class group slc subjectid trial1;
model ISI_Avg_sqrt= group|slc /ddfm=kr2 outp=R;
random intercept / subject=subjectid(group);
random slc / subject=subjectid(group);
random intercept / subject=trial1(subjectid group);
repeated /group=trial1;
/*repeated / group=slc;*/
run;

Thanks in advance!
