Hello Ksharp,   It is not a question > I was just updating the status of my question on teh slice statement for negative binomial regression that I had posed, informing that I have found teh solution and I pasted the solution and the corresponding output. Thanks! ... View more

Dear Ksharp and all,   Thank you for your advice on the slice statement for the negative binomial regression statement . I have managed to find the correct code to get the comparison I was looking for. Here is the code and one of the output tables. proc genmod data=NIS.nis_2019_septicemia_ipexcmicat; class pay1recat (ref = "3") hosp_region (ref= "4") hosp_locteach (ref= "1") hosp_bedsize (ref= "1") h_contrlrecat (ref= "3") female (ref= "0") zipinc_qrtl (ref= "4") aprdrg_severity (ref= "4") racerecat (ref= "1") cmr_index_mortalitycat (ref= "1") / param=glm; model los = pay1recat hosp_region pay1recat*hosp_region hosp_locteach pay1recat*hosp_locteach hosp_bedsize pay1recat*hosp_bedsize h_contrlrecat pay1recat*h_contrlrecat female zipinc_qrtl aprdrg_severity racerecat cmr_index_mortalitycat / dist=negbin link=log; lsmeans pay1recat*hosp_region / adjust=tukey; slice pay1recat*hosp_region / sliceby=hosp_region diff cl; lsmeans pay1recat*hosp_locteach / adjust=tukey; slice pay1recat*hosp_locteach / sliceby=hosp_locteach diff cl; lsmeans pay1recat*hosp_bedsize / adjust=tukey; slice pay1recat*hosp_bedsize / sliceby=hosp_bedsize diff cl; lsmeans pay1recat*h_contrlrecat / adjust=tukey; slice pay1recat*h_contrlrecat / sliceby=h_contrlrecat diff cl; run;       ...

Dear Ksharp,   Thanks again for your efforts and sharing the code. I tried using it bit still couldn't get the output as you shared.    Best KKind ... View more

Re: How to use VS Code with SAS OnDemand for Academics  when I used the slice statement with multinomial logistic regression as follows.

From this output above, I can determine what is the difference in outcomes comparing between each payer type for each level of the hospital ownership type (hosp_controlrecat). Is there some way I can get similar outputs (comparing between payer types) under the proc genmod code? Thank you!   Best KKIND     ... View more

@Ksharp, many thanks! I will try your sample code and revert back asap. Have a great day!   Best KKIND ... View more

@PaigeMiller, apologies for having wasted your time. Thanks again. ... View more

@PaigeMiller, thank you very much! What I am trying is running a code with the DV and the primary IV and then running it again adding the variable I am assessing for confounding and checking for the difference in estimates output table. Is difference more than 10% then the variable is a confounder. Does that make sense or do I just look at the p value by running the code  DV= IV and the variable, and if significant, consider it a confounder? Thanks! ... View more
