Hi!

I have this problem nagging me and I would love some input!

I got this set of data with measurements made with two different manufacturing methods which I would like to compare with each other, and test for equivalence between the methods. My first thought was to conduct a regular TOST with proc ttest but I discarded that idea when i reviewed the data 🙂 The data consists of 15 observations for each manufacturing method, and I cannot assume normality due to the distribution of the data. The data is continuous (not ordinal nor nominal).

My question: Is there anybody here that has experience with non-parametric equivalence testing? Preferably in SAS Base (or Enterprise Guide, Excel can work but I rather stay away from it).
I've made some googeling and found some results for a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney TOST but no real connection to SAS.

Thank you very much for your time!

I really don't know if you can extend the methods to TOST but I would look at PROC NPAR1WAY for Hodges-Lehman estimates of location shift, and perhaps to PROC MULTTEST for bootstrap resampling of the t-test.

Good luck with this.

Hi ChrilleBob,
Did you find a way to make Mann whitney Wilcoxon TOST using SAS ?

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
