Hi Yjlee,

❝ What if we keep same data matrix as before (e.g., as in bear), but change the model with "lnAUC ~ (1|Subj:Seq) + Seq + Per + Trt"? I haven't tried it yet. I read this from (...) It seems that we will get normal "Subj: Seq" in anova table in this case.


I do not know how R will handle that, sorry. But I don't personally have a preference for it. I clearly would prefer the simple lnAUC~Per+Trt+Seq+Subj in combo with uniquely coded subjects.
If you really insist on the ":" in the model syntax (please tell me why!) and you need to make sure the output for the nesting is never specified as "Seq:Subj" then I guess you could also fiddle with some aspects of R's data garbling. What in practice this implies, I could only tell if I read the source code. That is not likely to happen any time soon, though.

EM.

The difference between a surrogate and a true endpoint
is like the difference between a cheque and cash.
You can get the cheque earlier but then,
of course, it might bounce.    Stephen Senn
