Abstract

PROC MIXED in SAS can be utilized to make inferences on parameters in a mixed model by use of Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method or Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method which has more merits than ANOVA method. A regression model with unbalanced nested error structure that belongs to a mixed model is used to construct confidence intervals on variances among groups, within groups, and regression coefficients in the model. PROC MIXED is applied to three different sample sizes for simulation. As a result of the simulation study, PROC MIXED generates confidence intervals on parameters that maintain the stated confidence coefficient in a large sample size. However, it does not generate confidence intervals that maintain the stated confidence coefficient for variance components among groups and intercept in a small sample size.

SAS의 PROC MIXED를 사용하면 일반적인 ANOVA 추정량뿐만 아니라 더 많은 장점을 갖는 제한최대우도추정법 또는 최대우도추정법으로 모수들을 추론할 수 있다. 혼합모형에 속하는 불균형중첩오차구조를 갖는 선형회귀모형에서 랜덤효과와 관련된 그룹간 분산의 신뢰 구간과 고정효과에 해당되는 회귀 계수들에 대 한 신뢰구간을 구하기 위하여 세 가지 크기를 갖는 표본에 대하여 PROC MIXED를 사용하였다. 모의실험을 실행한 결과, 대표본인 경우에는 모수들의 신뢰 구간을 구하기 위하여 PROC MIXED를 활용할 수 있지만, 소표본인 경우에는 PROC MIXED를 사용할 경우, 그룹간 분산의 신뢰 구간과 회귀계수 가운데 절편항의 신뢰구간은 주어진 신뢰계수를 지키지 못하는 것을 보인다.
