the case seems to be a bit more complicated (at least for me). Any help and/or syntax appreciated.


Problem:

"479 raters score 16 objects. Each rater score (a) the same 16 objects"

this is a shortened version of the data with 6 objects and 2 raters...

caseNo: number of object
DV: dependent variable - has to be explained (object)
IV1: 1st independent variable - has to be tested (object)
IV2: 2nd independent variable - has to be tested (object)
IV3: 3rd independent variable - has to be tested (object)
probandNo:  the number of the proband (rater)
prob_age: age of proband  - has to be tested (rater)
prob_sex: sex of proband (rater) - has to be tested (rater)


probandNo DV IV1 IV2 IV3 caseNo prob_age prob_sex
1000 1 5 4 3 1 42 1
1000 3 4 1 1 2 42 1
1000 4 5 2 4 3 42 1
1000 2 8 4 5 4 42 1
1000 1 7 3 2 5 42 1
1000 1 2 2 2 6 42 1

1001 1 2 2 2 1 32 2
1001 1 7 3 2 2 32 2
1001 2 8 4 5 3 32 2
1001 4 5 2 4 4 32 2
1001 1 5 4 3 5 32 2
1001 3 4 1 1 6 32 2

The underlying question is which of the variables (object: IV1, IV2, IV3 - Rater: prob_age, prob_sex) exerts an influence on DV.
