What's New in SAS 9.2 for Mixed Models Analysis

What's New in SAS 9.2 for Mixed Models Analysis (Live Web)

Duration: 1 half-day session Please note the System Requirements below. CEUs: 0.3
(This course is not currently scheduled.)

This course introduces new features in SAS 9.2 for mixed models analysis, including ODS Statistical Graphics and mixed model residual and influence diagnostic tools in PROC MIXED, and the following features in PROC GLIMMIX: ODS Graphics, maximum likelihood estimation method, the COVTEST statement, the new bias-corrected empirical covariance estimator (EMPIRICAL=MBN), covariance matrix diagnostics, new covariance structures, step-down multiplicity adjustment, FIRSTORDER suboption for DDFM=KR, OUTDESIGN= to write X or Z matrix to an output SAS data set, and nonpositional syntax for LSMESTIMATE, CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. Additionally, the following self-study materials are presented in the course: the experimental EFFECT statement to define constructed effects in PROC GLIMMIX, and the EMPIRICAL option in PROC NLMIXED.

Learn how to

produce graphics via ODS Graphics
perform mixed model residual and influence diagnostics
request a maximum likelihood estimation method in PROC GLIMMIX
test for covariance parameters using the COVTEST statement in PROC GLIMMIX
request and interpret the covariance matrix diagostics in PROC GLIMMIX
request the bias-corrected empirical covariance estimator
request the adjustment to DDFM=KR option
use the nonpositional syntax for hypothesis testing in PROC GLIMMIX

Who should attend

Statisticians, analysts, researchers, consultants and other professionals who have had experience with mixed models analysis using PROC MIXED, PROC GLIMMIX, and/or PROC NLMIXED in SAS 9.1, and want to learn the new features in SAS 9.2 for mixed models analysis

Course Materials

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.

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 9.2 under a Windows operating system
