[R] Treatment-response analysis along time

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

you haven't told us what kind of variable you measure, but either way 
look at lmer() function in lme4 package which fits both linear and 
generalized linear mixed-effects models.

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Subject: [R] Treatment-response analysis along time


Dear R people,
I wonder if you could give me a hand with some of my data. I have a 
very
typical analysis in biology, however it is difficult for me to find 
the
right way to analyse. I had a group of animals, I gave them a 
treatment, and
I measure a variable along time -one´s per day- along 5 days,for
example(fake data):
Animals Time1 Time2 Time3 Time4
1            1         5        3        1
2            2         7        4        1
3            5         5        3        1
4            1         3        7        2
5            2         7        7        1
Please, notice that all the animals get the same treatment, and there 
are no
  control -animals which has no received any treatment.
Normally I handle this kind of data with SPSS and Repeated Measurement
analysis. That tell me if there is a change along the time, but no
information about when the treatment start to be effective, when the 
effect
has pass. Besides, i would like to be able to handle this data with R.
I have been looking at Crawley's S-plus book, and I cannot find 
similar
example as I have, not either in the Dalgaard´s introduction to R, 
because
he uses an example where different animals are measured as each 
time -using
time as a factor in a one way anova (I am hope I am right).
Thanks for your help and time.
Best regards
Felix
