You should use the flexible factorial model for this. If you search the list, you will find a document by Glascher and Gitelman with details on how to set this model up. The only caveat, and this applies to the full factorial as well, is that the statistics for the group factor are not valid. The time and group*time inferences are valid. For inference on the group factor, you need to first average the pre- and post-treatment values. Best Regards, Donald McLaren ================= D.G.
