Dear mittyri & all others,

❝ ❝ As Yung-jin explained me that PE in R/bear is not a direct arithmetic difference, and it is estimated in a specific linear model in ANOVA.

❝ Sounds strange to me. Do we have the ratio of LSMeans, the ratio of GeoMeans and something else?:confused:

❝ Let's wait for Yung-jin's comments


Estimate(test-ref) in bear is not obtained directly from the difference of mean values or lsmean. It is obtained from one of coefficients of lm() function. I cut the outputs from a test run and show it as follows:

        n1(R -> T) = 7
        n2(T -> R) = 7

         MEAN-test = 7.40146
               MSE = 0.01780339
                SE = 0.05043155
Estimate(test-ref) = 0.07195028

please browse "Interpreting regression coefficient in R" for more details (the explanations for the coefficient x32). Does anyone know the name of this coefficient in statistics? Thanks.

All the best,

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
