Title | Generalized Linear Regression for Count Data |
Programmer/Email | RuiChen |
Contributing Site | Rochester |
Description | This is a macro for performing Poisson regression for count data. The macro will automatically check for overdipersion based on the scale parameter. If the estimated scale parameter (computed either by deviance or by Pearson chi-square, whichever is bigger) is larger than the cutpoint (specified by users), alternative model (such as Sandwich variance estimate using GEE or negative binomial regression) is also provided. |

Macro Parameters | DSName: Name of SAS data set. Dir: Directory where the output file is saved. If it is unspecified, the output file is saved under C:\ (Windows) or Home directory (Linux). ID: Name of the variable for object ID. Outcome: Name of outcome variable. PredictNum: Name of the continuous covariates. PredictClass: Name of the categorical covariates. The reference could be specified using SAS syntax. For example, gender(ref="female") is allowed. Make sure there is no space between the variable name and reference specification. For example, gender (ref="female") is NOT acceptable. Format: Formats of tshe variables with with the same order in PredictClass. if no format defined for the corresponding qualitattive variable, a dot (.) must be input as a place holder. ScaleCutpoint: Cutpoint for the scale parameter to be considered overdispersion AlternateMod: Alternative model is overdispersion is detected -GEE: Sandwich variance-covariance estimate. -NB: Negative binomial regression. -ZIP: Zero Inflated Poisson regression. OutForm: Format of output file. HTML or RTF. |
