> I think you may be a bit confused on how to interpret the coefficients.  The 3rd category is in the model, it's just a redundant parameter.  All the information for getting the time 3 coefficient is in the model.  Let's look at it a bit more simply first.  If you had a model that only had time and nothing else.  Then time 3 would be the intercept value.  Now let's add in a gender variable.  If 1 is Boy, then the intercept is now the time 3 coefficient for girls.  If you believe growth is different for boys and girls, you would include an interaction for gender by time.  So how do you know the time 3 coefficient for boys.  It's the intercept plus the different for gender, plus the time coefficient plus the difference for gender of that.  Where is that coefficient, it's the interaction coefficient.
