  5. Example 1ToenailDermatophyteOnychomycosis 5 Common toenail infection, difficult to treat, affecting more than 2% of population. Classical treatments with antifungal compounds need to be administered until the whole nail has grown out healthy. New compounds have been developed which reduce treatment to 3 months. Date

  6. Example 1 : Name, department 6 • Randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicenter study for the comparison of two such new compounds (A and B) for oral treatment. Research question: Severity relative to treatment? • 2 × 189 patients randomized, 36 centers • 48 weeks of total follow up (12 months) • 12 weeks of treatment (3 months) measurements at months 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12. Date

  7. Example 2 The Analgesic Trial Name, department 7 Single-arm trial with 530 patients recruited (491 selected for analysis). Analgesic treatment for pain caused by chronic non- malignant disease. Treatment was to be administered for 12 months. We will focus on Global Satisfaction Assessment (GSA). GSA scale goes from 1=very good to 5=very bad. GSA was rated by each subject 4 times during the trial, at months 3, 6, 9, and 12. Date

  24. Example 24 This example analyzes the data from Beitler and Landis (1985), which represent results from a multi-center clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of two topical cream treatments (active drug, control) in curing an infection. For each of eight clinics, the number of trials and favorable cures are recorded for each treatment. The SAS data set is as follows. data infection; input clinic t x n; datalines; 1 1 11 36 1 0 10 37 2 1 16 20 2 0 22 32 3 1 14 19 3 0 7 19 4 1 2 16 4 0 1 17 5 1 6 17 5 0 0 12 6 1 1 11 6 0 0 10 7 1 1 5 7 0 1 9 8 1 4 6 8 0 6 7 run; Date

  25. 25 Date Suppose nij denotes the number of trials for the ith clinic and the jth treatment (i = 1, ... ,8 j = 0,1), and xij denotes the corresponding number of favorable cures. Then a reasonable model for the preceding data is the following logistic model with random effects: The notation tj indicates the jth treatment, and the ui are assumed to be iid .

  26. Name, department 26 • The PROC NLMIXED statements to fit this model are as follows: proc nlmixed data=infection; parms beta0=-1 beta1=1 s2u=2; eta = beta0 + beta1*t + u; expeta = exp(eta); p = expeta/(1+expeta); model x ~ binomial(n,p); random u ~ normal(0,s2u) subject=clinic; predict eta out=eta; estimate '1/beta1' 1/beta1; run; Date

  27. 27 Date The PROC NLMIXED statement invokes the procedure, and the PARMS statement defines the parameters and their starting values. The next three statements define pij, and the MODEL statement defines the conditional distribution of xij to be binomial. The RANDOM statement defines U to be the random effect with subjects defined by the CLINIC variable. The PREDICT statement constructs predictions for each observation in the input data set. For this example, predictions of and approximate standard errors of prediction are output to a SAS data set named ETA. These predictions include empirical Bayes estimates of the random effects ui. The ESTIMATE statement requests estimates .

  28. Parameter Estimates Name, department 28 Date

  29. Conclusions Date 29 The "Parameter Estimates" table indicates marginal significance of the two fixed-effects parameters. The positive value of the estimate of indicates that the treatment significantly increases the chance of a favorable cure. The "Additional Estimates" table displays results from the ESTIMATE statement. The estimate of equals 1/0.7385 = 1.3541 and its standard error equals 0.3004/0.73852 = 0.5509 by the delta method (Billingsley 1986). Note this particular approximation produces a t-statistic identical to that for the estimate of .

  38. PROC MIXED vs PROC NLMIXED 38 The models fit by PROC NLMIXED can be viewed as generalizations of the random coefficient models fit by the MIXED procedure. This generalization allows the random coefficients to enter the model nonlinearly, whereas in PROC MIXED they enter linearly. With PROC MIXED you can perform both maximum likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation, whereas PROC NLMIXED only implements maximum likelihood. Finally, PROC MIXED assumes the data to be normally distributed, whereas PROCNLMIXED enables you to analyze data that are normal, binomial, or Poisson or that have any likelihood programmable with SAS statements. PROC NLMIXED does not implement the same estimation techniques available with the NLINMIX and GLIMMIX macros. (generalized estimating equations). In contrast, PROC NLMIXED directly maximizes an approximate integrated likelihood.
