In an intervention study with subjects randomly allocated to two treatments (treat A and B) and three time points (time) plus an additional baseline measurement (dv_base), I've set up the following model to test for differences in temporal courses of treatments for the outcome (dv), thereby allo

Dear R users I have a question related to the interpretation of results based on GAMMs using Simon Woods package gamm4. I have repeated measurements (hours24) of subjects (vpnr) and one factor with three levels (pred). The outcome (dv) is binary. In the first model I'd like to test for differe

Hello, In a study exploring transgenerational transmission of anxiety disorder we investigate whether infants react to experimentally induced mood changes of their mothers. We measured the time that an infant needed to cross a cliff (=crossing time) depending on whether his mother had prev

[R] AIC for comparing GLM(M) with (GAM(M)

Hello I'm analyzing a dichotomous dependent variable (dv) with more than 100 measurements (within-subjects variable: hours24) per subject and more than 100 subjects. The high number of measurements allows me to model more complex temporal trends. I would like to compare different models usin
