I didn't see an answer to this.  I suspect it is related to the fact that the standard errors in the xtmixed model account for the random effects, and so are larger.  Note that the contrasts are the same in both as they are the sample means.

Why does pwcompare give different results after anova and xtmixed? Using the following syntax:
xtmixed lhist i.group##i.time || dog:, reml cov(id)
or
anova lhist group / dog|group time time#group, repeated(time)
followed by
pwcompare group, emptycells(reweigh) eff asbalanced post

I get the following for xtmixed

I can see that the standard errors are different, but the question arises should I use xtmixed or anova for repeated measures?

I am using Stata 12.0, update 10 Nov 2011.

Thanks,
