Hi,
I have the following:
Dependent variable is TotalScore and this is recorded for 74 companies on 2
different websites and in 2 successive years so SITE and YEAR are 2 within
subject factors with 2 levels.
I have 3 between subject factors (each with 2 levels).
I have 3 constant covariates (LOGSIZE, GASHARE and FORSHARE) whose values do
not change over the 4 within subject levels.
I have 4 other covariates (LEVERAGE, RTA, RETURNEQUITY and FIXEDASSETS) whose
values are the same for the 2 websites but change for the 2 years.
I have syntax as follows:
GLM
TOTALSCORE04 TOTALSCORE05 TOTALSCORE04T TOTALSCORE05t BY BIG4 INDUSTRY
LOCATION WITH FIXEDASSETS04 TO FIXEDASSETS05t LEVERAGE04 TO LEVERAGE05t
RTA04 TO RTA05t RETURNEQUITY04 TO RETURNEQUITY05t
GASHARE FORSHARE LOGSIZE
/WSFACTOR = SITE 2 Polynomial TIME 2 Polynomial
/METHOD = SSTYPE(3)
/CRITERIA = ALPHA(.05)
/WSDESIGN = SITE TIME SITE*TIME.
The problem I have is in specifying the covarying covariates. An added problem
is that the covarying covariates do not vary over the 2 sites (only over the 2
years). Is the above the correct syntax?
Would it be better to use Linear Mixed Models Repeated Measures in this case?
