How to get a type 3 analysis with PROC GEE

[UcheOkoro]

Hello,

Please, I need help with getting a type 3 analysis with PROC GEE.

The following is my SAS code.

Thank you.

PROC GEE DATA=COVERED.Demographics desc;
CLASS complete_adherence2(ref='1') record_id ethnicity (ref='1');
MODEL complete_adherence2 = ethnicity/ DIST=MULTINOMIAL LINK=gLOGIT  type3;
REPEATED SUBJECT=record_id / TYPE =indep ;
lsmeans ethnicity/  ILINK diff e cl oddsratio ;
RUN;

Hello,

The PROC GEE is giving ERRORs or WARNINGs in the LOG without any doubt.

Can you please share with us what the LOG is telling you?

Do not put the OUTCOME / RESPONSE variable in the CLASS statement.

The CLASS statement names the classification variables (that are explanatory!!) to be used in the analysis.

TYPE3

requests that statistics for Type 3 contrasts be computed for each effect specified in the MODEL statement. The default analysis is to compute score statistics for the contrasts. Type 3 analyses using the score statistics are not supported for nominal response data or weighted GEE methods. Wald statistics are computed if the WALD option is also specified.

Cheers,

Koen
