The VARCOMP Procedure

MODEL Statement

MODEL dependent = < effects > < / option > ;

The MODEL statement gives the dependent variables and independent effects. If you specify more than one dependent variable, a separate analysis is performed for each one. The independent effects are limited to main effects, interactions, and nested effects; no continuous effects are allowed. All independent effects must be composed of effects that appear in the CLASS statement. Effects are specified in the VARCOMP procedure in the same way as described for the ANOVA procedure. Only one MODEL statement is allowed.

Only one option is available in the MODEL statement.

FIXED=n
tells the VARCOMP procedure that the first n effects in the MODEL statement are fixed effects. The remaining effects are assumed to be random. By default, PROC VARCOMP assumes that all effects are random in the model. Keep in mind that if you use bar notation and, for example, specify Y=A|B / FIXED=2, then A*B is considered a random effect.
