Hi both,

❝ ❝ 2) Lets say you analyze the data with 1) SAS, 2) Winnolin. The SAS result shows a 90% CI of 85.22 - 125.1 and the Winnonlin result shows 85.15 - 124.98????


❝ Are you sure the differences are due to decimal places - I would think it more likely there is some difference in your model settings to explain this - (although of course it's a great advert if WNL can somehow make borderline products BE ;0)


This could be the case if there is one or more subjects having some period data missing; didn't I read somewhere that WNL will do a max likelihood optimisation by default (=essentially a mixed model) whereas SAS will try Proc GLM (normal linear model).
The mixed model versus normal linear model would explain the subtle difference which then isn't a matter of decimals carried.

Pass or fail!
