Freedom to some degree [🇷 for BE/BA]
dear D. Labes,
I don't know why you used TYPE=UN in your SAS code. In the FDA 2001 Guidance (Appendix E, p.37), it says: "...In the Random statement, TYPE=FA0(2) could possibly be replaced by TYPE=CSH. This guidance recommends that TYPE=UN not be used, as it could result in an invalid (i.e., not nonnegative definite) estimated covariance matrix..."
As long as bear complies with the FDA Guidance (2001) and is statistically correct, it should be acceptable, I guess.
Edit: Link corrected for FDA's new site. [Helmut]
❝ My questions remains:
❝ Do I do something wrong here? If yes, what?

❝ If not, what are the chances that regulators accept the bear / R handling of replicate studies?
As long as bear complies with the FDA Guidance (2001) and is statistically correct, it should be acceptable, I guess.
