MODEL Statement

The NLMIXED Procedure

MODEL Statement

MODEL dependent-variable ${{\scriptsize{\sim}}}$ distribution ;

The MODEL statement is the mechanism for specifying the conditional distribution of the data given the random effects. You must specify a single dependent variable from the input data set, a tilde ${({\scriptsize{\sim}})}$ , and then a distribution with its parameters. Valid distributions are as follows.

normal(m,v) specifies a normal (Gaussian) distribution with mean m and variance v.
binary(p) specifies a binary (Bernouilli) distribution with probability p.
binomial(n,p) specifies a binomial distribution with count n and probability p.
poisson(m) specifies a Poisson distribution with mean m.
general(ll) specifies a general log likelihood function that you construct using SAS programming statements.
