 Jill Tao has been a course developer and instructor with SAS Education for over five years and specializes in mixed model analysis. Tao developed the Statistical Analysis with the GLIMMIX Procedure course with statisticians, analysts and researchers who want to use this procedure for statistical analysis in mind. Tao sat down with SAS Training Report recently to talk about the course. "With my past experience in developing and teaching courses in the areas of linear mixed models and nonlinear mixed models," she says, "this course is a natural for me. I am able to show several examples for the application of this procedure and compare PROC GLIMMIX with other relevant SAS/STAT procedures."
