Dear all,

we have done a BE study in 3 way ref replicate design for FDA and ended up with the following error while running SAS code for unscaled 90% bioequivalence confidence intervals as given in "Draft Guidance on Progesterone" for parameter AUCI.

"NOTE: 20 observations are not included because of missing values.
WARNING: Did not converge."

These missing 20 observations are the ones (AUCI) which were not caculated in the respective treatment groups as the r² values are less than 80%.

However, when we re run the data including these 20 missing AUCI (recalculated without considering the r² criteria), there was no error.

plz suggest what is the correct way to deal with this?

Thanks in advance
