I think you can also try modelling the temporal effects as an autoregressive (AR) or moving average (MA) process, e.g., xtmixed depvar indepvar ||ptid:, residuals(ar1, t(time)).

Hi Stata Guru's,
Can anyone advise me on whether I need to include time variable as a categorical variable (ie. have a prefix i.) in xtmixed or can it be treated as a continous variable even though the data was collected at only three time points (evenly spaced). My research question: is depvar associated with indepvar independent of time ie. is syntax a or b most appropriate:
a) xtmixed depvar indepvar time||ptid:time,cov(uns)
or
b) xtmixed depvar indepvar i.time||ptid:time,cov(uns)
I noticed that the stata youtube video on this doesn't include i. however it was from 9 time points, not 3.
Cheers,
