The GEE Procedure (Experimental)

WEIGHT Statement

  • WEIGHT variable;

The WEIGHT statement identifies a variable in the input data set to be used as the exponential family dispersion parameter weight for each observation. The exponential family dispersion parameter is divided by the WEIGHT variable value for each observation.

The WEIGHT variable value does not have to be an integer; if the value is less than or equal to 0 or if it is missing, the corresponding observation is not used.
