Hi Emma,
yes, you can use these subjects. In fact for linear mixed effects models it makes even sense to include subjects that have only a single time point (if that is the small minority of course). Simply follow the same steps: cross for all time points, base (even if you include only a single time point here) and then long.
Best, Martin

Hi Freesurfers, I'm conducting a longitudinal analysis but have several subjects with a few missing time points. The paradigm contained 4 time points in total, a baseline that occurred prior to any treatment and 3 post-treatment time points. All my subjects have baseline time points. However, a few subjects have a missing post-treatment time point. Can I still use these subjects in my longitudinal analysis even though 1 of the 3 post-treatment time points are missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!
