Paul, Steve, thanks a lot for your comments.
In the past I had used Glimmix with categorical events; in other problems
with scoring (say, 1-to-5 scale, with 0.25 intervals) I used Mixed; but in
those cases I had a lot of observations (hundred of thousands). The
scoring with 1-5 scale had a normal distribution.
I was thinking (after reading an example in Cody's Applied statistical
analysis...) in using Wilcoxon, and doing the analysis at each time point. I
know it sounds very nasty, but in addition to the small datset, the repeated
measures add another complication.
I will try to simulate a dataset (o better try to get a real example) and
see how it works using Wilcoxon and Glimmix.
I will update my novice advances on this matter... : )
I realy appreciate the time you have taken to answer my posting.
Regards,
Joey.
