PROC GLM Estimate statement: if group has 8 levels (groups 1-8), do I need to include all in effect-values even though I am testing say, 4 groups only? 

 

e.g. estimate group 4 vs group 2 among groups 2, 3, 4, 5?

 

I plan to do only for comparisons (hence Bonferroni 0.05/4 rather than 0.05/8)

 

thanks,

 

Saiful.

I guess you only need to specify the first N level.

estimate 'A1 VS A2' A 1 -1;

even A have more than two levels .

This is a great case for the LSMESTIMATE statement, available in PROC MIXED or GLIMMIX.  Take a look at the shared concepts documentation for this statement, and it should be readily apparent how to do the comparisons you want, in  a series of comma separated statments, followed by /adjust=bon; for a Bonferroni adjustment.

 

It is pretty easy to port GLM code to MIXED or GLIMMIX.
