Statistical Analysis with the GLIMMIX Procedure

Classroom duration: 2.0 days Live Web duration: 4 half-day sessions Please note the System Requirements below. Course fee: $1,450 EPTO units: 2.8 CEUs: 1.2

This course focuses on the GLIMMIX procedure, a new procedure for fitting a statistical model to nonnormal and normal responses.

Learn how to

analyze binomial data with random effects
fit a Poisson regression model and a beta regression model with and without random effects
analyze repeated measures data with discrete outcomes
fit a radial smoother model
perform post-processing analysis
jointly model multivariate responses with different distributions
deal with convergence issues.

Course Materials

Classroom: Students attend classroom courses in one of our public training centers. You receive a hardcopy of the course notes and, in some courses, can choose to take home a copy of the course data.

Live Web: Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.

System Requirements

For Live Web, you must

review and follow the general system requirements.
complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
- Base SAS, SAS/STAT, and SAS/GRAPH software, Release 9.1.3 under a Windows operating system
