Dear Users,

I'm looking for some help to answer 4 statistical questions in a complex research.
I'm quite new in SPSS and any help would be appreciated.


Please help me find the suitable statistical tests to answer the following question.

1.

There were 3 types of treatment and 5 measured parameter,

The columns contains the given measured parameters, the rows are all the measured parameters for a subject.

I have a column that contains 1,2 or 3 (1: treatment A, 2: treatment B, 3: untreated)

I have 33 columns that contains the 5 measured parameters in different timepoints (for eg. parameter A 1hour, parameter A 6 hours, parameter A 1 month ..., etc )


The question: Does the chosen treatment affect the measured parameters at any timepoint?

2.

Multiply measurement: 5 timepoint, 2 types of measurements, and one global factor

Type 1 measurements: 5 measured parameter in 5 timepoints
Type 2 measurements: 12 measured parameters in the same 5 timepoint.
Global factor can range from 1 to 8

So every patient (row) has 5x5 values for Type 1 measurements, 5x12 values for Type 2 measurements and one value for global factor.

The questions:

A, Is there any relationship between the the measured Type 1 measurements at the same timepoint (eg. does one type 1 parameter determine another type 1 parameter at the same time)

B, Are the Type 1 measurement parameters affected by the Type 2 measurement parameters or by the global factor?


3.

We have the same Type 1 measurements: 5 measured parameter in 5 timepoints
One column for cardiac function (range 0-100)
And many other binary columns (risk factors, previous illness, etc, as 0 stands for no, 1 for yes)


Question: Are the Type 1 measurements in a single timepoint affected by the cardiac function or by the risk factors.
So I'd need 5 evaluation, 1 for each timepoint.


4.
Are the Type 1 measurement parameters determined/affected by another column (two types of conditions values: 1 or 2)




I'd be really greatful for any help. So far, I only used simple correlation tests in another statistical program, I'm
really new to SPSS.


Thank you very much.

ps.: I'm using spss19 on a 64bit win 7
