Dear statalisters,

Some time ago we performed a randomized crossover study in which we
monitored the lung function of a group of volunteers  during three days. Day
1 was used to determine baseline lung function whereas day 2 and 3 were used
to monitor lung function after inhaling either placebo (air) or active gas
(oxygen) under hyperbaric  condition. During each measurement day lung
function was measured 6 times. All variables and observations were put in a
dataset which initially had the following format:

ID           Group      Time                     Result1 etc
1             0          0                             6.19
2             0          0                             5.97
.             .          .                              .
.             .          .                              .
13            2          22                           5.33
Etc

ID exist of 13 persons (nr 1-13)
Group: 0 (baseline), 1 (placebo), 2 (active)
Time: pre, 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 22 hours after exposure

We want to perform a repeated measures anova as all subject performed all
three test days which makes the groups not independent. The format we had in
mind was to search for differences between the groups at a specific time
point and to look for a correlation between Result1, etc and variable time.
I found two possibilities of doing a repeated measures anova using Stata
9.2:

1.	Using Ado rmanova written by George Hoffman
2.	Using anova with command repeated.

I tried both commands but they gave some contradictory results. To gave an
example I put in the log results of one test:

In rmanova there is a significant correlation with FEF50 and time
(p=0.0343), while in the anova with repeated command test there is none such
correlation. Can anyone advise us which option we should use: rmanova or
anova with the repeated command? Many thanks.

Sincerely Yours,

Pieter-Jan van Ooij
