Hello Steve and thank you for your answer. Here's the code I use: PROC GLIMMIX DATA=suivi_file METHOD=laplace IC=q NOCLPRINT;
CLASS id_pat profil sexe prescr ass_so tble_psy;
EFFECT spl_tps=SPLINE(temps / DEGREE=1 KNOTMETHOD=LIST(70) DETAILS);
MODEL bilan(EVENT='1') = spl_tps|profil age sexe tble_psy ass_so prescr / DIST = BINARY LINK=LOGIT S INTERCEPT;
RANDOM INTERCEPT temps / SUB=id_pat TYPE=VC;
RUN; I should precise that the number of repeated time points is variable between subject and varies from 1 to 18. Also, time points are not evenly spaced in time. So far, my best two candidates as covariance structure are VC (AICC = 39401.8) and ANTE(1) (AICC=39402.5). Considering the low difference between these two results I might be tempted to choose the ante-dependence structure which makes more sense in a repeated measures situation. Thank you for your future response.
