Ming,

I don't know very much about R, but I have done glm for mv longitudinal
data.
This is a good book for theory:
http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Regression-Analysis-Multivariable-Methods/dp/0495384968
I think you can see a good bit of it on google books.
There are also a couple of good relevant chapters at the very end of
Kleinbaum's other book "Logistic Regression" - you may be able to find pdfs
of them online.

If you need more thorough learning tools I recommend a subscription to
Safari Books - http://my.safaribooksonline.com/
They have a ton of textbooks and programming books online. I have the
really paired down subscription (plus they do a free trial period) and have
yet to use up all my "bookshelf" space. I think it's about 24USD/month.

UCLA has some great stuff - annotated code and output for stats - (SPSS, SAS
and Stata) - that might be a good start. They also have some other online
resources that might be helpful. http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/

Hope some of this helps. If you have more specific questions, I can try to
help.

Katy

Ming Chen:
I'd say that PROC MIXED PROC NLMIXED could be good procedures for use in analyzing "repeated measure" data; for example, observations of more than one event or response per subject. The fuzzy dividing line between repeated measures and time series would be related to the strength of influence and complexity of prior observations on future ones. Secular time series often have lags in responses due to trends, cycles, and seasonality. SAS/ETS programs decompose time series into components and help model complex lag structures. I'd also say that few on the 'L will respond unless you specify in more detail what you are trying to do and what data you have.

Subject: modeling time series data using Generalized Linear Model in SAS

Hi All,

Has anyone have used generalized linear models to model time series
data especially multivariate time series? I came upon a book on this
topic.
the book name is "Regression Models for Time Series Analysis" and you
can find it sold on amazon.

There is no way that my company would buy SAS/ETS. Now I am on the
steep learning curve of modeling multivariate time series data using
R. The time series stuff itself is new for me and the lack of
documentation and different and confusing R library makes matter even
worse. Actually I focus more on model reference than the forecasting
accuracy. Maybe the regress analysis is a better options. Is there any
papers or examples I can read and learn?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't make my self clear from the first
post. According to the book "Regression Models for Time Series
Analysis", it is possible to model time series using PROC NLIMIXED.
For example, ARMA(1,1) model can be analyzed by PROC NLIMIXED. The
book link at amazon is
http://www.amazon.com/Regression-Models-Analysis-Probability-Statistics/dp/0471363553/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268149029&sr=8-1

I just read the preface of that book from amazon and it seems
generalized linear model can deal with time series data very well. I
searched online and there are not much reference and examples about
that. I am just wondering anyone on this list has read that book and
tried real projects.
