Hi,
I am not sure I follow the scalar part of the suggestion. Could you please
elaborate it a bit more?  Each row has a different value of score for each
subject at each time point. Also I simplified the example but there are
other terms that  change over each row for each subject.
Does this mean that loops is the only way to go ?

Thanks again for your help and time.
