Multivariate models are demonstrated to analyze repeated measures profile and growth curve data when univariate or multivariate mixed model assumptions are not tenable. Standard mixed model tests are recovered from certain multivariate hypotheses. The procedures are illustrated using numerical examples. (Author/RC)

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of the general linear model (GLM) in problems with repeated measures on a dependent variable. Such problems include pretest-posttest designs, multitrial designs, and groups by trials designs. For each of these designs, a GLM analysis is demonstrated wherein full models are formed and restrictions…
