Although the most commonly used link and probability distributions are available as built-in functions, the GENMOD procedure enables you to define your own link functions and response probability ...

Program code is easier to read and understand when it is broken up into smaller sections. Functions and procedures can make code shorter, simpler and easier to write. While procedures are great for ...
