Analysis of variance for repeated measures. Data: a generalized estimating equations approach.
Various techniques are available for the analysis of repeated measures data, and the appropriate choice depends on distributional assumptions and study design features. A correct analysis must account for potential dependence between repeated observations on the same subject. ⋯ Computations for fitting this type of model are exceptionally simple. Numerical examples suggest that the proposed approach yields estimation and hypothesis testing results consistent with more specialized methods.
