%QLS SAS® Macro: A SAS Macro for Analysis of Longitudinal Data Using Quasi- Least Squares
Quasi-least squares (QLS) is an alternative computational approach for estimation of the correlation parameter in the framework of generalized estimating equations (GEE). QLS allows for easier implementation of some correlation structures that are not available for GEE. We describe a user-written SAS® macro called %QLS, and demonstrate application of our macro using a clinical trial example for...
متن کاملA SAS Macro for Applying Multiple Imputation to Multilevel Data
Single-level multiple imputation procedures (e.g., PROC MI) are not appropriate for multilevel data sets where observations are nested within clusters. Analyzing multilevel data imputed with a single-level procedure yields variance estimates that are biased toward zero and may yield other biased parameters. Given the prevalence of clustered data (e.g., children within schools; employees within ...

متن کاملSAS Macro Version Control
During the development and maintenance (life-cycle) process of SAS® macros, especially while they are already used for production purposes, it is very much recommended to keep a history of changes, additions and bug fixes along with the macro version number. Archiving of the production SAS program code should include the applied macro version or at least the applied macro version number. That w...
متن کاملSAS macro for causal mediation analysis with survival data.
We let Ta and Ma denote respectively the values of the time-to-event outcome and mediator that would have been observed had the exposure A been set to level a. We let Tam denote the value of the time-to-event outcome that would have been observed had the exposure, A, and mediator, M , been set to levels a and m, respectively. The average controlled direct effect comparing exposure level a to a∗...
