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 the SAS(R) System 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.

The course is perfectly designed with material and labs to get hands on experience on AWS, nicely done!

Great Class and Chris was a very knowledgeable instructor. Hoping it prepped me well enough for upcoming exam!

Classromm confortable and enviroment. Instructir knowlegeable of course matarial but need to align to students working in the Canadian Federal Govt. ve US Federal govt.

The course on Redshift was excellent! As a DBA/DA I found there is a quite a bit of learning for Oracle professionals to move into AWS.

I just completed a three day course in BigFix usage/administration led by Gary Lehnus. Gary was an excellent instructor. ExitCertified made the online class process painless. I can't speak for their other courses as I have not taken them, but the BigFix course is well worth it.
