The MIXED Procedure

The SLICE statement provides a general mechanism for performing a partitioned analysis of the LS-means for an interaction. This analysis is also known as an analysis of simple effects.

The SLICE statement uses the same options as the LSMEANS statement, which are summarized in Table 19.21. For details about the syntax of the SLICE statement, see the section SLICE Statement in Chapter 19: Shared Concepts and Topics.

Note: Use the section LSMEANS Statement in Chapter 19: Shared Concepts and Topics, only for definitions of the options that you can use with the SLICE statement. PROC MIXED uses a slightly different syntax for the LSMEANS , which is described in the section LSMEANS Statement.
