The RELIABILITY Procedure

LSMESTIMATE Statement

LSMESTIMATE model-effect <'label'> values <divisor=n> <, …<'label'> values <divisor=n>></ options> ;

The LSMESTIMATE statement provides a mechanism for obtaining custom hypothesis tests among least squares means.

Table 16.20 summarizes the options available in the LSMESTIMATE statement.

Table 16.20: LSMESTIMATE Statement Options

Option	Description
Construction and Computation of LS-Means
AT in SAS/STAT User's Guide	Modifies covariate values in computing LS-means
