Dear Muneesh & all,

interesting reading in those references.
I noticed the following on page 13 in the first Epar:

"Hence, it is possible that the observed effect is due solely to chance. The least-squares means of the treatment effect were adjusted for the period effect."

In my opinion, the first sentence is an interesting way of saying absolutely nothing. The second sentence is meaningless given the way LSMeans are actually calculated. Makes you wonder, did I skip one of the lectures in statistics?!

Best regards
EM.
