Hi again d_labes,

I tried to find the correct model by the post you referred.

❝ In the older package nlme / lme() you may formulate the model similar to the FDA code. See that post.


Unfortunately, I am confused after reading tons of post, and I could not figure out what is "trt", "tmt" ... Simply, my data is as follows

 Subject Formula Period Sequence     Yijk
       1       1      1        1 4.933014
       1       0      2        1 5.006829
       1       1      3        1 4.854162
       1       0      4        1 5.081755
       2       1      1        1 4.854738
       2       0      2        1 4.690311


Where Yijk is the PK characteristic. The first sequence represents "TRTR" and the second sequence: "RTRT". In the formula 1 = T and 0 = R. In the referred post you say that

model2 <- lme(y~ drug + prd + seq,
# this random statement fits a symmetric positive definite covariance matrix,
# identical to UN in SAS???
                random= ~ tmt-1|subj,
                #different within variabilities                 
                weights=varIdent(form = ~ 1 | drug),
                data=BlaBla, method="REML")


In your model y = Yijk, drug=Formula, prd=Period, seq=Sequence,
but what is tmt? Also, is the my data format correct for the lme? Or, Should I change Formula as 1 = T, 2 = R and Sequence as 1 = TRTR, 2 = RTRT? Could you please make me clear.

Best.
