Hi Andrea, Just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't already, that Shawn is = our "deer" expert here on SAS-L. You might want to look back at = previous posts. Here also is his website: http://www.rw.ttu.edu/haskell/ And dissertation: http://www.rw.ttu.edu/haskell/Haskell_DissertationReview.pdf So you might want to try Shawn's suggestion of genmod with with neg bin = pdf

Andrea, You may try few options but not guranteed that it will solve your problem. Like PROC GLIMMIX; CLASS PLOT; /* you can use TOTFEM in class */ MODEL YOUNG = dn|rn / DIST=POISSON *link = log ddfm = satterth* solution ; RANDOM TOTFEM / SUBJECT=PLOT; /* or You can use *Random intercept / subject =TOTFEM (plot)* */ random _residual_ ; RUN; if you have problem with convergence

Hello, I’m using proc glimmix to investigate the effects of environmental factors on the number of young produced in the breeding season. So, my dependent variable is a count variable and therefore I using a poisson distribution. As random effect I have the ID of each of the 4 plots where these populations were sampled. Additionally, I assumed that the number of adult females in each of the plots

The interesting thing is I have cited my sources in backing my statements while none of the posts refuting my writings have ANY citation backing them lacking the ability for a reader to validate if in fact what is said is more than just an opion with out backing or credibility. The concept of my conducting this investigation and sharing the information I have here on this board, is simple I care
