Hi again,

❝ ❝ And this is exactly what we need for the BE evaluation,

❝ ❝ because log(LSMean(T)/LSMean(R))=log(LSMean(T)-log(LSMean(R))[...]


❝ Interesting points. Do you mean for unbalanced data or for all kinds

❝ here? I don't know this before.


Yes, this is actually the easy part.
If you use something like this:

TotallyFantasticFit=lm(lnAUC~Subj+Seq+Per+Trt)

Then you can get the difference in LSMeans via:
summary(TotallyFantasticFit)

Note that the sign of the treatment effect will be depending on the way the data have been garbled initially: It will be equal to either (LSMean(T)-LSMean(R)) or to (LSMean(R)-LSMean(T)) so be aware of the sign.

The alternative way to do it is to simply calculate LSMeans by averaging over the sequences, see Chow & Liu's book.

It is solely a matter of taste.
Your end result (T/R ratio) will be the same regardless. And it will work for balanced as well as unbalanced datasets.

EM.

Edit 02.04.09: Error in my explanation of LSMean calculation.
