Re: repeated measures question

[Dang, Jeff]

Ron,   I am not sure what statistical package you are using but it is definitely possible to have multiple dependent variables within the repeated measures design.  There are several things you need to be careful of when doing a MANOVA as well as several limitations with the technique (see citation below).  The dataset typically does not have to be arranged in a special manner in most cases but you do have to specify the model correctly via the statistical program you are using.  Hope this gets you started and good luck with your analyses.   Lavori, P.
