Dear all, wish you all well. Can anyone please enlighten me on my understanding of the partial genmod output below? The result shows that there is a decreasing trend in y over the 2-year period and the decrease does not vary from responses to A1. I tried to insert the interaction plot here to illustrate my question but it doesn't work and I don't know why given the small image size. According to the interaction plot, all the lines joining the LSM mean values from 2010 and 2011 by A1 seem to be parallel and show a decreasing trend. However, 2=Disagree a little line intersects with 3=Neither agree nor disagree line. How do I find out/quantify which of the deceases from A1 responses is different given the output? Your insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. proc genmod data=temp order=internal plots=all; class id time var1; MODEL y= var1 time var1*time / type3 dist=gamma link=log; lsmeans time*var1 / om diff ilink cl plots=all; slice time*var1 / sliceby=var1 ilink diff nof; repeated subject=id / type=cs; run; Score Statistics For Type 3 GEE Analysis Source DF Chi-Square Pr > ChiSq time 1 28.17 <.0001 p-value<0.05 indicates that there is a change in y over the 2-year period.
