Dear Elmaestro,

❝ 1. Could you try and fit fixed effects as log(Cmax) ~ 0+ drug + seq + prd, and then extract your drug effects directly from that.

OK. add an intercept?

  Statistical analysis (lme) - replicate BE study               

-------------------------------------------------

  Dependent Variable: ln(Cmax)                                           

Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML

 Data: inputdata 

        AIC       BIC   logLik

  -174.2564 -153.2241 98.12818



Random effects:

 Formula: ~drug - 1 | subj

 Structure: General positive-definite, Log-Cholesky parametrization

         StdDev      Corr 

drug1    0.149004554 drug1

drug2    0.122159679 0.15 

Residual 0.007644172      



Variance function:

 Structure: Different standard deviations per stratum

 Formula: ~1 | drug 

 Parameter estimates:

        1         2 

1.0000000 0.4391939 

Fixed effects: log(Cmax) ~ 0 + seq + prd + drug 

          Value  Std.Error DF   t-value p-value

seq1   7.356274 0.05636146 12 130.51957  0.0000

seq2   7.358938 0.05152645 12 142.81866  0.0000

prd2  -0.061700 0.04760132 39  -1.29618  0.2025

prd3  -0.059641 0.04760132 39  -1.25293  0.2177

prd4   0.003482 0.00164306 39   2.11917  0.0405

drug2  0.063740 0.04758714 39   1.33943  0.1882

Looks like the same.

❝ 2. Could you compare and check the presence and handling of na's in your comparisons?

in this demo dataset, there is no any NA involved.
any NA must be removed (as the entire period) first before doing lme(); otherwise, it will crash.

So there is no way to compare the difference.
