Dear All,
I work as a statistical analyst mainly in the area of finance. I am a SAS
programmer work maily on time series analysis. This query is to solve a
problem in analyzing medical data. I will be greateful if somebody in this
list guide me how to do it.
The drug is a variant of Viagra. Two randomly selected groups undergone
treatment with placibo and the drug. Data were collected at the end of 2
weeks 4 weeks. For example, if placibo is given to the first group, the
second group was given the drug and after 2 weeks, the drug is given to
first group and placibo to the second.
the response of the patients are at 5 leveles (like always -5, somtimes-3
etc)
the data look like
Baseline (W0) PlaciboW2 DrugW2 Placibow4 Drugw4
---------------------------------------------------------PNO>qno1(score)
qno1(score)
w0- baseline, w2-end week2, w4-end of week4,qno1-quistion no -1 (there are
16 quistion to analyse)
I think I could convey the data information. Now we need to analyze this to
find out the effect of the drug and placibo based on the baseline. secondly
, to find out the carry over effect. Please let me know what technique best
suit for this and how to design the data analysis. How to carry out Chi
square and ANOVA on such data. What are the other useful techniques to
explain the effects better ? This result is very important for the company.
Biometrics is an exciting area to me but first time I am getting a chance
to try out something. Since I want to do it perfect I decided to get the
help of the online community..
thanks in advance,
Jeomoan Kurian
