Data is usually in the format of one case per line, which has a case number or some other
subject identification followed by the response variable score for each of the
measurement occasions (see data after the cards statement). To create a single response
variable score for use in PROC GLM a data step is used to rearrange the data. This new
variable score is the reading accuracy score at each measurement occasion (time 1, time 2
and time 3 in Table 8.11). To associate each score with its measurement occasion a
variable time is created. The PROC GLM procedure analyses the response variable score
with subject and time as the independent variables. For an explanation of the MODEL
statement refer to the description given in the section-on computer analysis for an
unrelated One-way ANOVA. SAS output for this analysis is shown in Figure 8.18.
