WS.Corr.Mixed.SAS | R Documentation |
This function allows for the estimation of the within-subject correlations using a general and flexible modeling approach that allows at the same time to capture hierarchies in the data, the presence of covariates, and the derivation of correlation estimates. The output of proc MIXED (SAS) is used as the input for this function. Confidence intervals for the correlations based on the Delta method are provided.
WS.Corr.Mixed.SAS(Model, D, Sigma2, Asycov, Rho, Tau2, Alpha=0.05, Time)
Model |
The type of model that should be fitted. |
D |
The D matrix of the fitted model. |
Sigma2 |
The residual variance. |
Asycov |
The asymptotic correlation matrix of covariance parameter estimates. |
Rho |
The ρ component of the fitted model which determines the matrix H_{i}, ρ(|t_{ij}-t_{ik}|). This component is only needed when serial correlation is involved, i.e., when Model 2 or 3 used. |
Tau2 |
The τ^2 component of the fitted model. This component is only needed when serial correlation is involved (i.e., when Model 2 or 3 used), \varepsilon_{2} \sim N(0, τ^2 H_{i})). |
Alpha |
The α-level to be used in the computation of the Confidence Intervals around the within-subject correlation. The Confidence Intervals are based on the Delta method. Default |
Time |
The time points available in the dataset on which the analysis was conducted. |
Model |
The type of model that was fitted. |
R |
The estimated within-subject correlations. |
Alpha |
The α-level used to computed the Confidence Intervals around R. |
CI.Upper |
The upper bounds of the confidence intervals (Delta-method based). |
CI.Lower |
The lower bounds of the confidence intervals (Delta-method based). |
Time |
The time values in the dataset. |
