Dear ElMaestro,

❝ All software that I know of with the exception of man-made Excel sheets get the LSMEans from fitting. They are the model effects extracted from the b vector after optimsation.


Yes, you are right at this point.

But, as mentioned in my first post, I used
WNL's 90% CI of LSMean(R-T) -0.066980983221424 0.124285167688542, but not the 90% CI of LSMean(R-T) calculated by other software, to calc 90% CI of GeoMean Ratio(%) (T/R), the result is different from that of WNL's.

LSMean is obtained from fitting or iteration, so some bias will be accepted.
But WNL dose a simple anti-log transform with a bias at level of 0.01(%), it is unacceptable, unless WNL use another "strange method" to do anti-log transformation and we have accept that "strange method".
