Effect size in GLIMMIX

[cedric5]

Hello,

I ran a mixed model using GLIMMIX with 3 fixed effects (category) and their interaction and 2 covariates.

One the fixed effect (population) which has 4 populations is significant. Using LSMEANS I got multiple comparisons and it showed that 2 populations are different from the 2 others. I have been asked to give an effect size of the difference.

Can I get it from GLIMMIX?

Thanks for you help

The "effect size" can be computed from the difference between the LSMEAN for Y for that group compared to the overall average for Y.

Thank you Paige. By Y you mean the estimate for the group?

Why don't you show us the output so we can all be talking about concrete numbers?

Thank you again
Here is the output of the LSMEANS

In the future, would you please click on the </> icon and paste your text output into the window that appears to preserve the formatting and make your results easier to read?

The "effect size" for AK is 5.1572 – (overall mean of Y)

One could also define "effect size" of NY to AK, which would be 5.1572 – 4.8595

Thank you so much!
Sorry about the formatting problem it is the first time I post.
