Hi libaiyi,
no idea about SAS.
Phoenix:
My R-code:
Generally I prefer an exact test over an asymptotic one.
Significance testing is of historic interest in BE only (was abandoned decades ago). You should pre-specify an interval which you consider to be not relevant from a clinical perspective. For tmax of a pain-killer it might be just ±20 minutes but for a modified release product which is only used in steady state even a couple of hours. At the end assess whether the CI of the difference lies within the interval as usual.

Test T_stat p_value
Treatment|(SEQ1=SEQ2) 46 0.39727171My R-code:
Expectation : 52.5
Statistic : 46
Exact : Z = -0.84650388, p-value = 0.41491841
Asymptotic : Z = -0.84650388, p-value = 0.39727171❝ So, which p value should I take as the decision standard for the test?
