Overview

This course is for scientists and analysts who want to analyze observational data collected over time. It is not for SAS users who have collected data in a complicated experimental design. They should take the Mixed Models Analyses Using SAS® course instead.

Skills Gained

  • create individual and group profile plots and sample variograms
  • use PROC MIXED to fit a general linear mixed model and a random coefficient model
  • plot information criteria for models with selected covariance structures
  • generate diagnostic plots in PROC MIXED
  • fit a binary generalized linear mixed model in PROC GLIMMIX
  • fit an ordinal generalized linear mixed model and a model with spline effects in PROC GLIMMIX
  • fit a binary GEE model in PROC GENMOD.

Who Can Benefit

  • Epidemiologists, social scientists, physical scientists, and business analysts

Prerequisites

  • Before attending this course, you should be able to
  • execute SAS programs and create SAS data sets
  • fit models using the GLM and REG procedures in SAS/STAT software.

Ascendient Learning instructors have an average of 27 years of practical IT experience and have also served as consultants for an average of 15 years. To stay current, instructors spend at least 25 percent of their time learning new, emerging technologies and courses.

Do you provide hands-on training and exercises in an actual lab environment?

Lab access is dependent on the vendor and the type of training you sign up for. However, many of our top vendors will provide lab access to students to test and practice. The course description will specify lab access.

Will you customize the training for our company’s specific needs and goals?

We will work with you to identify training needs and areas of growth.  We offer a variety of training methods, such as private group training, on-site of your choice, and virtually. We provide courses and certifications that are aligned with your business goals.

How do I get started with certification?

Getting started on a certification pathway depends on your goals and the vendor you choose to get certified in. Many vendors offer entry-level IT certification to advanced IT certification that can boost your career. To get access to certification vouchers and discounts, please contact info@ascendientlearning.com.

Will I get access to content after I complete a course?

You will get access to the PDF of course books and guides, but access to the recording and slides will depend on the vendor and type of training you receive.

Reviews

ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.

Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.

You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.
