How do I use the estimate statement for between subject comparisons

as00502 — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:30:55 GMT

Hi, I am trying to use the estimate statement to make between-subject comparisions. I have managed to do so with the first estimate statement for the time, but I am unable to do so for the groups. I am getting the error "WARNING: More coefficients than levels specified for effect Group. Some coefficients will be ignored.". The code I am using is below, the part in bold is getting the error. Thank you.

proc mixed data=work.all;
class group ID time;
model HSP27=group time group*time time0 /cl;
repeated time/subject=ID(group) r rcorr type=vc;
ods output covparms=cov rcorr=corr;

estimate 'time2-time4' time 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 group*time 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0;
estimate 'time2-time6' time 1 0 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 group*time 1 0 - 1 0 0 0 0 0;
estimate 'time2-time8' time 1 0 0 - 1 0 0 0 0 group*time 1 0 0 - 1 0 0 0 0;
estimate 'time2-time10' time 1 0 0 0 - 1 0 0 0 group*time 1 0 0 0 - 1 0 0 0;

You have 9 coefficients for group*time.

This is a really good time to look at the documentation for the LSMESTIMATE statement, and at the nonpositional syntax method of coding estimates, contrasts and lsmestimates.
