Dave,

Even after all this back and forth, your stated goals given your data are confusing. We all have provided guesses - but it hasn't seemed to get us anywhere.

How about this - you provide an example of the end goal  the dataset should be in to conduct the analysis of interest. And then others can try to help get you to that end goal. As I (and I believe others) have said previously, it isn't clear (apparently to me or others on this list) given your original data how you estimate a "correlation" of anything. It appears you only have two time periods in the study in the example data you forwarded. You can't estimate a correlation between "Time 1 and Time 2" if you only have one observation of the time 1 and time 2 process.
