Option Description<br />

DIFF Requests differences of LS-means<br />

OM Specifies weighting scheme for LS-mean computation<br />

SINGULAR= Tunes estimability checking<br />

SLICE= Partitions F tests (simple effects)<br />

Degrees of Freedom and p-values<br />

ADJDFE= Determines whether to compute row-wise denominator<br />

degrees of freedom with DDFM=SATTERTHWAITE or<br />

DDFM=KENWARDROGER<br />

ADJUST= Determines the method for multiple comparison adjustment of LSmean<br />

differences<br />

ALPHA=˛ Determines the confidence level (1 ˛)<br />

DF= Assigns specific value to degrees of freedom for tests and confidence<br />

limits<br />

Statistical Output<br />

CL Constructs confidence limits for means and or mean differences<br />

CORR Displays correlation matrix of LS-means<br />

COV Displays covariance matrix of LS-means<br />

E Prints the L matrix<br />

You can specify the following options in the LSMEANS statement after a slash (/).<br />

ADJDFE=SOURCE<br />

ADJDFE=ROW<br />

specifies how denominator degrees of freedom are determined when p-values and confidence<br />

limits are adjusted for multiple comparisons with the ADJUST= option. When you do not<br />

specify the ADJDFE= option, or when you specify ADJDFE=SOURCE, the denominator<br />

degrees of freedom for multiplicity-adjusted results are the denominator degrees of freedom<br />

for the LS-mean effect in the “Type 3 Tests of Fixed Effects” table. When you specify AD-<br />

JDFE=ROW, the denominator degrees of freedom for multiplicity-adjusted results correspond<br />

to the degrees of freedom displayed in the DF column of the “Differences of Least Squares<br />

Means” table.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ADJDFE=ROW setting is particularly useful if you want multiplicity adjustments to<br />

take into account that denominator degrees of freedom are not constant across LS-mean<br />

differences. This can be the case, for example, when the DDFM=SATTERTHWAITE or<br />

DDFM=KENWARDROGER degrees-of-freedom method is in effect.<br />

In one-way models with heterogeneous variance, combining certain ADJUST= options with<br />

the ADJDFE=ROW option corresponds to particular methods of performing multiplicity<br />

adjustments in the presence of heteroscedasticity. For example, the following statements fit a<br />

heteroscedastic one-way model and perform Dunnett’s T3 method (Dunnett 1980), which is<br />

based on the studentized maximum modulus (ADJUST=SMM):
