Hi Helmut,

❝ My PHX6.3 code gives for RSABE …

boundy     S²wr     Swr       PE       95% upper

-0.221998  0.41138  0.64139  89.8990  -0.18424336


Just out of curiosity I tried my SAS macro and it only gives Swr, PE, 95% upper. They are the same as yours, which is slightly different from John's.

❝ ❝ I ran Unscaled Avg BE (Progesterone guidance SAS code)

❝ ❝ T/R Ratio     90% CI

❝ ❝ 101.021    80.7739 - 126.343


❝ … and for ABE

  PE          90% CI

104.782  69.7855 – 157.328


Now, my average BE gives:
PE: 1.01021, same as John's :yes:
90% CI: 80.7733 - 126.3450, different from both of yours. :no:
Weird.

❝ But: PHX’ LME kicked my ass with “Warning 11094: Negative final variance component. Consider omitting this VC structure.” Nice. Old story with partial replicates – overspecified model since T is not repeated. We have seen in the past that SAS and PHX give different results in such a case. BTW, did you get “Convergence criteria met but final hessian is not positive definite.” or somefink similar in Sas?


SAS did give me warning of " Convergence criteria met but final hessian is not positive definite".

❝ That’s funny! Same if I exclude subjects #14 and #31 (no results for T). What the heck?


after delete subject 14 and 31, same result for SABE but for ABE:
PE: 98.04322%
90% CI: 78.61817 - 122.26784.
Man, I never doubted the macro before. should I worry about it now? :confused:
Shall we compare the result from EMA's data set?

Edit:
Just tried EMA's 3-period data set, using "logdata" directly from the dataset.
SABE gives:
Swr=0.11397
PE=1.02264
95% upper= -0.00397289


ABE gives the same result as in the EMA's Q&A. 102.264 (97.05-107.76)

delete subject 5 and 8 (don't ask why those subjects)
SABE gives:
Swr=0.11803
PE=1.01341
95% upper= -0.00510258


ABE gives:
PE=101.218
90% CI= 95.7687 - 106.978


Can anyone check it?

All the best,
Shuanghe
