The BGLIMM Procedure

Syntax: BGLIMM Procedure

The following statements are available in the BGLIMM procedure. Items within angle brackets ( < > ) are optional.

  • PROC BGLIMM <options>;

  • BY variables;

  • CLASS variable <(options)>ellipsis <variable <(options)>> </ global-options>;

  • ESTIMATE 'label' estimate-specification <(divisor=n)> </ options>;

  • FREQ variable;

  • LSMEANS fixed-effects </ options>;

  • MODEL response <(response-options)> = <fixed-effects> </ model-options>;

  • MODEL events / trials = <fixed-effects> </ model-options>;

  • PREDDIST <'label'> OUTPRED=SAS-data-set <options>;

  • RANDOM random-effects </ options>;

  • REPEATED repeated-effect </ options>;

  • WEIGHT variable;

The PROC BGLIMM statement and the MODEL statement are required. The CLASS statement must precede the MODEL statement. You can have multiple RANDOM statements in a program.

The ESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for computing custom linear combination of the parameters. The PREDDIST statement generates samples from the posterior predictive distribution,

The following sections provide a description of each statement.
