Dear ElMaestro!

❝ ❝ Next I tortured the software and set R1 or R2 to ‘Missing’…


❝ Something is wrong here, or I am not getting it right. If all R1's are missing then an R1 effect cannot be estimated (for example, a column with all zero's in the model matrix for that effect, or, a beta vector shortened by one because that effect is left out). Are you sure you deleted all objects prior to re-running the analysis?


OK, to be more precise: from the original dataset I generated two new ones: one with T and R1 and another one with T and R2, but the allocation to sequences and periods was kept 'as is'.

In WinNonlin-speak:
subject sequence period treatment response 1 response 2
  1        1       1       T        120.6      120.6
  1        1       2       R1        81.56      81.56
  1        1       3       R2      Missing    Missing
  …        …       …       …         …          …

and
subject sequence period treatment response 1 response 2
  1        1       1       T        120.6      120.6
  1        1       2       R1      Missing    Missing
  1        1       3       R2       136.7      146.7
  …        …       …       …         …         ...

I guess missing values in SAS-speak are denoted by a period ‘.’ instead.

❝ Since this goes off thread, I would be happy enough if this could be colported to its own thread.


Yes, maybe later on. There’s no way to do that directly by the forum’s software – manipulating the MySQL-backend calls for a fresher brain I’m having right now.
