Dear Eva!

One example in SAS…

Obviously sequence effects are identical (p 0.187). Maybe you had some drop-outs in your study, which resulted in imbalanced sequences. In such a case SAS’ SS Type III and WinNonlin’s Partial Sum of Squares may differ (although they ‘coincide in most situations’). SAS SS III is a strange cup of tea anyhow… ;-)

It would be nice, if you would come up with a simple dataset (12 subjects?), where you find differences. It should be possible to track it down!
