Dear All, reading an article by Rodolphe Thiebaut and Helene Jacqmin-Gadda ("Mixed models for longitudinal left-censored repeated measures") I have found this program in SAS
proc nlmixed data=TEST QTOL=1E-6; parms sigsq1=0.44 ro=0.09 sigsq2=0.07 sigsqe=0.18 alpha=3.08 beta=0.43; bounds −1< ro < 1, sigsq1 sigsq2 sigsqe >= 0; pi=2*arsin(1); mu=alpha+beta*TIME+a i+b i*TIME; if OBS=1 then ll=(1/(sqrt(2*pi*sigsqe)))*exp(-(RESPONSE-mu)**2/(2*sigsqe)); if OBS=0 then ll=probnorm((RESPONSE-mu)/sqrt(sigsqe)); L=log(ll); ....... I haven't found a simple solution for the conditional LL: if OBS=1 then ll=(1/(sqrt(2*pi*sigsqe)))*exp(-(RESPONSE-mu)**2/(2*sigsqe)); if OBS=0 then ll=probnorm((RESPONSE-mu)/sqrt(sigsqe)); using nlme. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
