Hello all,
I am a wee bit confused about the random statement in PROC MIXED, I thought maybe you can clarify it for me in simple words.
Let's for the illustration say I have an outcome variable Y, and a treatment variable X, getting:
1 - New intervention
0 - Control (or placebo in drugs)
I have n subjects, and each subject can get the treatment in 1 to 3 places in his/her body.
If I write a SAS PROC MIXED procedure like this:
PROC MIXED data = ....;
CLASS SubjectID, Treatment;
MODEL Y = Treatment;
RANDOM....
run;
what is the difference between:
1) RANDOM SubjectID;
2) RANDOM intercept / subject = SubjectID;
3) RANDOM intercept Treatment / subject = SubjectID;
and when do I use each one ?
thanks !
