Dear mailing list,
I am trying to run a LME model using the matlab tools, but I’m unsure how to specify the model we wish to run. We have a qdec file that contains the following columns: fsid, fsid-abse, years between scans, age at baseline, gender, group
We want to specify a model where we can examine four interaction terms (years*age, years*group, age*group, years*age*group), as well as random effects for the intercept, years and age. My questions are: 1. How do we specify a model that will include the random effects we want? 2. How do we compare our full model (3 random effects) with a model excluding the random effect for age?
Kind regards, Bronwyn Overs Research Assistant
