Dear Oiinkie, Helmut and yicaoting

Thank you all for running WNL (by Helmut) and SAS (by yicaoting) for imbalanced data provided by Oiinkie. This is definitely a great Forum.
O.K., bear will crash with incomplete data. The original question was: with imbalanced data, bear got two output files (ANOVA_stat.txt and Statistical_summaries.txt). The results showed inconsistent. After running the imbalance data, it can be concluded:
  1. the result of ANOVA_stat.txt is correct based on WNL & SAS runs. Oiinkie probably has already known that.
  2. the PE from Statistical_summaries.txt is also incorrect as pointed by Oiinkie.
  3. the error only occurs in imbalanced data; for incomplete data, bear will be crashed.
I will try to fix these errors/bugs asap. Finally, I am very sorry to keep you all waiting, as well as any inconveniences due to these errors/bugs.
I only abstract the differences as mentioned by Oiinkie as follows:

[from ANOVA_stat.txt] ...
*** Classical (Shortest) 90% C.I. for lnCmax ***

        Point Estimate   CI90 lower   CI90 upper
Ratio          104.758       99.607      110.176

---------------------- Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) -------------------------

     TOST   T value   P value
1 T_lower    -9.141     0.000
2 T_upper    -6.089     0.000

**Interpretation:
Ho: Theta <  0.80000  or  Theta >  1.25000
Ha:  0.80000  < or = Theta < or =  1.25000
where Theta = Mean_Test/Mean_Ref.
Because all P values are less than 0.05, we will reject the null hypothesis (Ho).
BE acceptance criterion is set within the range of  80.000  -  125.000 % .

Intra_subj. CV = 9.953 %

[from Statistical_summaries.txt] ...
Statistical Summaries for Pivotal Parameters of Bioequivalence (N= 23 )

    Parameters  F values  P vales    PE (%)  lower 90%CI   upper 90%CI
1         Cmax     1.643    0.214         -            -            -
2       AUC0-t     1.466    0.239         -            -            -
3     AUC0-inf     1.286    0.270         -            -            -
4     ln(Cmax)     2.516    0.128   104.573       99.4304      109.981  ← Error!
5   ln(AUC0-t)     1.330    0.262   103.317       98.5645      108.299
6 ln(AUC0-inf)     1.173    0.291   103.239       98.2956      108.433
...
ps. please ignore AUC stuffs. I just arbitrarily put 100 as the the given dose in order to complete the run with bear.

ps2: A good news is that I think the inconsistency has been fixed back to 2011-12-22 (bear v2.5.4, not released to the public yet). However, the crash with incomplete data has been not yet.[edited]

❝ Have you already been able to test the data set in order to find out whether ANOVA_stat.txt or Statistical_summaries.txt gives the "correct answer"? This would help me a lot.


All the best,

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the
hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is
contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.    Enrico Fermi
