INTRODUCTION TO PROC MIXED 
(Longitudinal and Clustered Data)


A CSCAR Workshop
Center for Statistical Consultation and Research, 
The University of Michigan

June 3 and 4, 2008


Do you have two or more observations on the same person (longitudinal or repeated measures data)?

Do you have observations on students from several different classes, or rats from different litters (clustered or hierarchical data)?

Normal linear regression doesn't work in these situations. 

Fortunately, SAS Proc Mixed is a flexible tool that can handle all of these problems, as long as the response variable is approximately continuous. It works even when some data are missing. 

The workshop will consist of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on computer sessions.
