Hi R project,
I have a data set (see below) where I have 2 parameters estimated from a
computational model ("lowStakesW", "highStakesW") which
represent 2
separate conditions in the experiment. I would like to find out the
relationship of the variable "compulsiveIntrusive" to each of these
conditions ("lowStakesW", "highStakesW").
Do I model an interaction in the DV:
lme((lowStakesW*highStakesW) ~ compulsiveIntrusive + (age + genderTotal +
IQ) , data = data, random = ~ 1 | subject, na.action = na.omit, method
"ML")
or alternatively, reformat the data to a long format with 2 rows for each
subject and model the "stakes" as a factor? (when I do this it
can't
estimate the coefficients)
