A Comparison Of Procedures For The Analysis Of Multivariate Repeated Measurements, Lisa M. Lix, Anita M. Lloyd Nov 2007

A Comparison Of Procedures For The Analysis Of Multivariate Repeated Measurements, Lisa M. Lix, Anita M. Lloyd

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Three procedures for analyzing within-subjects effects in multivariate repeated measures designs are compared when group covariances are heterogeneous: the multiple regression model (MRM) with a structured covariance, Johansen’s (1980) procedure, and the multivariate Brown and Forsythe (1974) procedure. A preliminary likelihood ratio test of a Kronecker product covariance structure is sensitive to sample size and derivational assumption violations. Error rates of the procedures are generally well-controlled except when the distribution is skewed. The MRM procedure displayed few power advantages over the other procedures.

Type I Error Rates Of The Kenward-Roger Adjusted Degree Of Freedom F-Test For A Split-Plot Design With Missing Values, Miguel A. Padilla, James Algina

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The Type I error rate of the Kenward-Roger (KR) test, implemented by PROC MIXED in SAS, was assessed through a simulation study for a one between- and one within-subjects factor split-plot design with ignorable missing values and covariance heterogeneity. The KR test controlled the Type I error well under all of the simulation factors, with all estimated Type I error rates between .040 and .075. The best control was for testing the between-subjects main effect (error rates between .041 and .057) and the worst control was for the between-by-within interaction (.040 to .075). The simulated factors had very small effects …
