Hi VStus & ElMaestro!

This is really funny, we had 2 last days discussions with Helmut regarding Group effect during the workshop

Yes, in case of just adding a Group you do not see any changes (Fixed: sequence, period, treatment, group, subject(sequence))
But in case of Period %in% Group the situation is not the same!!

a little code for discussion:
# the original code is from this perfect paper:
# http://link.springer.com/article/10.1208/s12248-014-9661-0
Analyse222BE <- function (data, alpha=0.05, Group = FALSE) {
 
  data$Subj <- factor(data$Subj) # Subject
  data$Per  <- factor(data$Per)  # Period
  data$Seq  <- factor(data$Seq)  # Sequence
  data$Trt  <- factor(data$Trt)  # Treatment
  # be explicite
  ow <- options()
  options(contrasts=c("contr.treatment","contr.poly"))
 
  if(!Group) {
    muddle <- lm(log(Var)~Trt+Per+Seq+Subj, data=data)
  }  else {
    muddle <- lm(log(Var)~Trt+Per+Seq+Subj+
                          Group+Per:Group, data=data)
  }
  # in the standard contrasts option "contr.treatment"
  # the coefficient TrtT is the difference T-R since TrtR is set to zero
  lnPE     <- coef(muddle)["TrtT"]
  lnCI     <- confint(muddle,c("TrtT"), level=1-2*alpha)
  typeI    <- anova(muddle)
  names(typeI)[5]   <- "Pr(>F)"

  # no need for the next
  mse      <- summary(muddle)$sigma^2
  # another possibility:
  #mse <- typeI["Residuals","Mean Sq]
  #df       <- df.residual(muddle)
 
  # back transformation to the original domain
  CV <- 100*sqrt(exp(mse)-1)
  PE <- exp(lnPE)
  CI <- exp(lnCI)
  # output
 
  cat(sep,"\n")
  options(digits=8)
  cat("Type I sum of squares: ")
  print(typeI)

  cat("\nBack-transformed PE and ",100*(1-2*alpha))
  cat("% confidence interval\n")
  cat("CV (%) ..................................:",
      formatC(CV, format="f", digits=2),"\n")
  cat("Point estimate (GMR).(%).................:",
      formatC(100*PE, format="f", digits=2),"\n")
  cat("Lower confidence limit.(%)...............:",
      formatC(100*CI[1], format="f", digits=2) ,"\n")
  cat("Upper confidence limit.(%)...............:",
      formatC(100*CI[2],format="f", digits=2) ,"\n")
  cat(sep,"\n\n")
 
  #reset options
  options(ow)
}

Even PE differs!
What the heck?? Where am I wrong? I need to take some Schützomycin!
PS: I see now, the model with Period:Group is wrong

Kind regards,
Mittyri
