re: st: Anova repeated measures

["Airey, David C" <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

With repeated measures ANOVA the time of collection is crossed with subject. You have subjects with different time points. Other methods like xtmixed allow different time of measures per subject, but your data set of 3 subjects is too small for this method. Maybe a randomization approach? I'm assuming you want to conclude a downward trend across 3 subjects is significant? Always start your analysis with a plot!

reshape long t vas, i(id) j(time)
gr tw connected vas t, connect(L)

Is it possible to collect more subject data?
