Longitudinal Data Analyses Using Linear Mixed Models in SPSS: Concepts, Procedures and Illustrations

Abstract: Although different methods are available for the analyses of longitudinal data, analyses based on generalized linear models (GLM) are criticized as violating the assumption of independence of observations. Alternatively, linear mixed models (LMM) are commonly used to understand changes in human behavior over time. In this paper, the basic concepts surrounding LMM (or hierarchical linear models) are outlined. Although SPSS is a statistical analyses package commonly used by researchers, documentation on LMM proc… Show more

“…Pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustments for multiple comparisons were used to compare the main effect of time on the severities of depressive symptoms and heroin dependence and the level of QOL. The linear mixed model analysis is useful in analyzing individual changes overtime [45,46] and in unbalanced data (e.g. unequal group sizes) [47].…”

“…Multilevel modeling models were specified based on standard procedures. 28 In order to test for changes from pretreatment to posttreatment and from pretreatment to follow-up, time was treated as a categorical variable in the models. The full conditional models tested the effects of time, controlling for pretreatment CBCL Total Problem score.…”

“…Furthermore, the development of trait and state anxiety was plotted over the course of chemotherapy treatment. Repeated measurements of anxiety and symptom severity at different time points resulted in a nested data set, calling for an analysis approach that accounts for this higher level clustering of individuals' ratings by time to avoid type I errors and biased parameter estimations (Peugh, 2010;Shek and Ma, 2011). Therefore, longitudinal mixed model analyses were used to answer our three research questions as stated above.…”
