The RANDOM statement defines the random effects constituting the {\gamma} vector in the mixed model. It can be used to specify traditional variance component models (as in the VARCOMP procedure) and to specify random coefficients. The random effects can be classification or continuous, and multiple RANDOM statements are possible.


Using notation from the "Mixed Models Theory" section, the purpose of the RANDOM statement is to define the Z matrix of the mixed model, the random effects in the {\gamma} vector, and the structure of G. The Z matrix is constructed exactly as the X matrix for the fixed effects, and the G matrix is constructed to correspond with the effects constituting Z. The structure of G is defined by using the TYPE= option.


You can specify INTERCEPT (or INT) as a random effect to indicate the intercept. PROC MIXED does not include the intercept in the RANDOM statement by default as it does in the MODEL statement.

You can specify the following options in the RANDOM statement after a slash (/).
