I want to do simple 1-Way RM-ANOVA. One group, three timepoints. Is there a difference between the timepoints. Only interested in effect of Time and then pairwise comparisons (Tukey). It's a cross-over design with three different exposures.
Is it adequate to do this in the Fit Y by X platform? The response variable of interest on Y, and "Time" (session in my case)) on X? I prefer this way making it easy to do post-hoc test directly in the same platform.
Here I can also fit BY group. While there are two groups in the project I primarily want to analyse these separately (one model for one group, one for the other, not interested in the interaction here, while it might be a secondary analysis).
I.e.
However, it can also be done in the Fit Model approach. In the MANOVA approach, I would just put the three time points on Y and nothing in the model effect (potentially BY group). This seems to have higher power. Is this adequate?
In the Fit model univariate approach, I would put the response variable as Y and "Time" aswell as subject[Random effect] in the model effect? This seems seems to have even slighly higher power (smaller P for same data).
(And potentially by group)
What's the practical/statistical difference for these approaches? Which is most adequate, for this quite simple design?
