This measures the least square mean change in baseline-to-end point on z-score on the combined DSST. Depicted is the least square (LS) mean \[standard error of mean (SEM)\] change in DSST z-scores from baseline to week 8 using an independent covariance matrix with time as a categorical variable, adjusted for the type of cognitive test (Pen/Paper versus Online CogState version). Larger least squares mean indicates a higher predicted or adjusted average outcome for that group or condition compared to others. In other words, if you have a higher least squares mean for a treatment group, it suggests that, after adjusting for the effects of other variables, that group tends to have a higher average outcome, indicating better performance. A least squares mean of 0 indicates that the groups has no difference in average outcome. There is no fixed maximum or minimum for LS Means. They are derived from the data and can, in principle, take any real value (positive, negative, or zero)
