no comparison between group

meghbali14 — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 14:15:55 GMT

Dear Friends,
As a brief;
We have 2 groups of dairy cows (n=18). Before performing this experiment, we fed the cows with the same ration and collected the data (this period of time called "the covariate period").
then we fed the cows with two types of diet.
We have data from the covariate period (these type of data mentioned by "_b") and experimental period.
When I run the SAS, it doesn't work and there isn't any comparison between groups. Please let me know how to solve this problem. Thank you very much in advance.

- ruminate time (RT_b), eat time (ET_b), total chewing time (TCHT_b), ruminate chews per minute (RCHM_b) (belong to the covariate period)

- ruminate time (RT), eat time (ET), total chewing time (TCHT), ruminate chews per minute (RCHM)

(belong to the experimental period)

data chewing_activity;
input number cow$ day group period RT RT_b ET ET_b TCHT TCHT_b RCHM RCHM_b;

Dear Paige Miller,

Thanks for your quick reply. I changed the names but still doesn't have any results.

Cheers,

For your future benefit, as well as for use in this thread, when you say something doesn't work, and then provide no other information, we can't help you.

However, if something doesn't work and you SHOW US what you did (the code) and the part that doesn't work — the entire log for the step that doesn't work, or if the output is the incorrect output and explain what is wrong, then it is much more likely that we can help you.
