The CATMOD Procedure

Example 28.9 Repeated Measures, Two Repeated Measurement Factors

This example, from MacMillan et al. (1981), illustrates a repeated measures analysis in which there are two repeated measurement factors. Two diagnostic procedures (standard and test) are performed on each subject, and the results of both are evaluated at each of two times as being positive or negative. In the following DATA step, std1 and std2 are the two measurements of the standard procedure, and test1 and test2 are the two measurements of the test procedure:

   data a;
      input std1 $ test1 $ std2 $ test2 $ wt @@;
      datalines;
   neg neg neg neg 509  neg neg neg pos  4  neg neg pos neg  17
   neg neg pos pos   3  neg pos neg neg 13  neg pos neg pos   8
   neg pos pos pos   8  pos neg neg neg 14  pos neg neg pos   1
   pos neg pos neg  17  pos neg pos pos  9  pos pos neg neg   7
   pos pos neg pos   4  pos pos pos neg  9  pos pos pos pos 170
   ;

For the initial model, the response functions are marginal probabilities, and the repeated measurement factors are Time and Treatment. The model is a saturated one, containing effects for Time, Treatment, and Time*Treatment. The following statements produce Output 28.9.1:

   proc catmod data=a;
      title2 'Marginal Symmetry, Saturated Model';
      weight wt;
      response marginals;
      model std1*test1*std2*test2=_response_ / freq design noparm;
      repeated Time 2, Treatment 2 / _response_=Time Treatment 
               Time*Treatment;
   run;

The analysis of variance table in Output 28.9.1 shows that there is no significant effect of Time, either by itself or in its interaction with Treatment. The second model includes only the Treatment effect. Again, the response functions are marginal probabilities, and the repeated measurement factors are Time and Treatment.

A main effect model with respect to Treatment is fit. The following statements produces Output 28.9.2:

      title2 'Marginal Symmetry, Reduced Model';
      model std1*test1*std2*test2=_response_ / corrb design noprofile;
      repeated Time 2, Treatment 2 / _response_=Treatment;
   run;

The analysis of variance table for the reduced model (Output 28.9.2) shows that the model fits (since the residual chi-square is nonsignificant) and that the treatment effect is significant. The negative parameter estimate for Treatment shows that the first level of treatment (std) has a smaller probability of the first response level (neg) than the second level of treatment (test). In other words, the standard diagnostic procedure gives a significantly higher probability of a positive response than the test diagnostic procedure.

The next example illustrates a RESPONSE statement that, at each time, computes the sensitivity and specificity of the test diagnostic procedure with respect to the standard procedure. Since these are measures of the relative accuracy of the two diagnostic procedures, the repeated measurement factors in this case are labeled Time and Accuracy. Only 15 of the 16 possible responses are observed, so additional care must be taken in formulating the RESPONSE statement for computation of sensitivity and specificity.

The following statements produce Output 28.9.3 and Output 28.9.4:

             'Main-Effects Model';

   quit;

For the sensitivity and specificity analysis, the four response functions displayed next to the design matrix (Output 28.9.3) represent the following:

  1. sensitivity, time 1

  2. specificity, time 1

  3. sensitivity, time 2

  4. specificity, time 2

The sensitivities and specificities are for the test diagnostic procedure relative to the standard procedure.

The ANOVA table in Output 28.9.3 shows that an additive model fits, that there is a significant effect of time, and that the sensitivity is significantly different from the specificity.

Output 28.9.4 shows that the predicted sensitivities and specificities are lower for time 1 (since parameter 2 is negative). It also shows that the sensitivity is significantly less than the specificity.
