DUNNETS Post-hoc test

[Achieng]

Hello SAS gurus and my biggest: smiley very-happy:,

I am comparing three outcome groups. 

I was using  Kruskal Wallis test because we have non-normal data.

 proc npar1way data=ALICEPAPER3MAY2018 WILCOXON;
	 class NewOutcome2015;EXACT WILCOXON / MC;
	  var Age_2005 WeightPA05;
	run;

To do a posthoc test, my supervisor recommended Dunnets.

I have been able to run other tests i.e just palying with SAS and I am successful, i.e Benferroni.

/* Performing the Bonferroni Multiple Comparisons: */

PROC GLM DATA=ALICEPAPER3MAY2018;
CLASS NewOutcome2015;
MODEL Age_2005 = NewOutcome2015;
LSMEANS NewOutcome2015 / CL PDIFF ADJUST=BON;
run;

However, but cant get DUNNETS Test, please help.

Please help and codes as well.

Thank you very much.

Very kind regards

Achieng

Hi:
Did you look in the Doc? There appears to be an ADJUST=DUNNETT option for the LSMEANS statement: http://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=statug&docsetTarget=statug_glm_syntax10.htm&docsetVersion=... for PROC GLM.
