Abstract
criteria were taken into account, and the lowest value was considered. Variance-covariance structures with the best fit were Toeplitz, component of variance, and unstructured. Probability values of interaction of the main effects were similar for both models, as well as the mean square of the error and standard errors of mean differences. Selection criteria, which were properly fitted to analyzed variables, allowed to know the variance-covariance structure. Mixed model provided standard errors of appropriate mean differences, so it is proposed as an analysis alternative. The use of the mixed model avoids calculation of standard errors based on the formula established for this purpose.
Key words: variance-covariance, information criteria, random effect, PROC MIXED
