I'm at a loss how to exactly analyze this data.
Basically we have a bunch of subjects that are partitionned into three groups.
One group does nothing, one does endurance exercise and one does strenght exercise. The design is not cross-over, each subject does only one thing.
The variable KLF10 is measured before, during and after the exercise (Pre, 2.5h and 5h)



I know that I have to take into account the fact the measures for different times are correlated for each individual and hat a simple two way ANOVA won't do, but while I can find convincing stuff for cross-over designs, I can't seem to find anything for this simpler design.
Authors that used this data talk about Two way repeated measures ANOVA with Exercise * Time ; I also thought of mixed models.
I can't seem to make it work though



EDIT 1 Following the comment, here are some clarifications.




  1. KLF10 is always 1 for the Time = Pre because authors have what they call "normalized" the data.
    For each subject, the value of the variable KLF10 at Time=Pre is taken as the reference and put to one. (And that means that each subject starts with the same value of KLF10 at Time = Pre. I don't know if that is problematic) Values of KLF10 at following times are changed accordingly.


  2. The point of the analysis is to see if the value of KLF10 changes across groups at different time points, over time and differently across groups I believe (thus the model with interaction they mentionned).

Does anyone have advice on what I should exactly do?



EDIT2 : First of all I want to thank COOLSerdash for his very helpful remarks. I accepted the answer



I am left wondering with one more thing.
Let us consider a second dataset, similar in every way to the first one

Is there any reason the MLM fit is singular with this dataset and not with the other one?



Indeed :



    library(lme4)
library(nlme)
mod0_data <- lme(KLF10~Exercise*Time, random = ~1|Subject, data = data)
mod02_data <- lmer(KLF10~Exercise*Time + (1|Subject), data = data)


mod0_data2 <- lme(EIF2AK3~Exercise*Time, random = ~1|Subject, data = data2)
mod02_data2 <- lmer(EIF2AK3~Exercise*Time + (1|Subject), data = data2)

I'm at a loss how to exactly analyze this data.
Basically we have a bunch of subjects that are partitionned into three groups.
One group does nothing, one does endurance exercise and one does strenght exercise. The design is not cross-over, each subject does only one thing.
The variable KLF10 is measured before, during and after the exercise (Pre, 2.5h and 5h)



I know that I have to take into account the fact the measures for different times are correlated for each individual and hat a simple two way ANOVA won't do, but while I can find convincing stuff for cross-over designs, I can't seem to find anything for this simpler design.
Authors that used this data talk about Two way repeated measures ANOVA with Exercise * Time ; I also thought of mixed models.
I can't seem to make it work though



EDIT 1 Following the comment, here are some clarifications.




  1. KLF10 is always 1 for the Time = Pre because authors have what they call "normalized" the data.
    For each subject, the value of the variable KLF10 at Time=Pre is taken as the reference and put to one. (And that means that each subject starts with the same value of KLF10 at Time = Pre. I don't know if that is problematic) Values of KLF10 at following times are changed accordingly.


  2. The point of the analysis is to see if the value of KLF10 changes across groups at different time points, over time and differently across groups I believe (thus the model with interaction they mentionned).

A linear mixed model seems to work reasonably well in this case. The residuals exhibited heteroscedasticity in the original model. To remedy that, I used a power variance function with the fitted values as variance covariate. A likelihood ratio test provides much evidence that the second model with the power variance structure is superior (see code below).



I also remove the first time point as all groups had the same values there.



Here is the code:

  • Thanks for the fast answer I was hoping that someone would make mixed models work (I was getting a singular fit in my past attempts with similar specification ?)! Code works perfect. I have one question : Doesn't removing the "baseline" Time = Pre remove the possibility to see if the value of KLF10 significantly changes compared to that baseline with Exercise and Time? I think one of the main interests is to see if a given Exercise type changes the value of KLF10 compared for a given Time compared to Time = Pre.

  • 1




    @JoelH If you want to test whether a certain KLF10-value is different from Time = Pre, I'd recommend calculating marginal means with 95%-confidence intervals for each combination of Exercise and Time. If the confidence interval includes 1, it there is little evidence that the corresponding time point differs from "pre" and vice versa.

  • Thank you so much for all the help. I totally agree that is a possible approach to it. Was my first though and I believe the authors do something like that in other analysis. I'm also just wondering what the reason behind removing Time = Pre is, does it directly hurt modelling with a random mixed effect model?

  • Also, do you have any idea on what they exactly did with their "Two way repeated measure ANOVA?"? I've read about the method, but I'm left somewhat confused on what this has over a MLM. I'll quote their description : "A repeated measures two-way ANOVA for Time, Exercise and Time x Exercise (REML for Variance Component Estimation) was performed to generate p-values for overall effects as well as between individual subgroups (Contrasts)"

    @JoelH I added a picture of the marginal means for clarity. I think the authors did a linear mixed effect model (or something equivalent). That's why they used REML for estimation of the variance components, which is exactly what I did here.

A linear mixed model seems to work reasonably well in this case. The residuals exhibited heteroscedasticity in the original model. To remedy that, I used a power variance function with the fitted values as variance covariate. A likelihood ratio test provides much evidence that the second model with the power variance structure is superior (see code below).



I also remove the first time point as all groups had the same values there.

    @JoelH If you want to test whether a certain KLF10-value is different from Time = Pre, I'd recommend calculating marginal means with 95%-confidence intervals for each combination of Exercise and Time. If the confidence interval includes 1, it there is little evidence that the corresponding time point differs from "pre" and vice versa.

  • Thank you so much for all the help. I totally agree that is a possible approach to it. Was my first though and I believe the authors do something like that in other analysis. I'm also just wondering what the reason behind removing Time = Pre is, does it directly hurt modelling with a random mixed effect model?

I have one question : Doesn't removing the "baseline" Time = Pre remove the possibility to see if the value of KLF10 significantly changes compared to that baseline with Exercise and Time? I think one of the main interests is to see if a given Exercise type changes the value of KLF10 compared for a given Time compared to Time = Pre.

    @JoelH If you want to test whether a certain KLF10-value is different from Time = Pre, I'd recommend calculating marginal means with 95%-confidence intervals for each combination of Exercise and Time. If the confidence interval includes 1, it there is little evidence that the corresponding time point differs from "pre" and vice versa.

  • Thank you so much for all the help. I totally agree that is a possible approach to it. Was my first though and I believe the authors do something like that in other analysis. I'm also just wondering what the reason behind removing Time = Pre is, does it directly hurt modelling with a random mixed effect model?

  • Also, do you have any idea on what they exactly did with their "Two way repeated measure ANOVA?"? I've read about the method, but I'm left somewhat confused on what this has over a MLM. I'll quote their description : "A repeated measures two-way ANOVA for Time, Exercise and Time x Exercise (REML for Variance Component Estimation) was performed to generate p-values for overall effects as well as between individual subgroups (Contrasts)"

    @JoelH I added a picture of the marginal means for clarity. I think the authors did a linear mixed effect model (or something equivalent). That's why they used REML for estimation of the variance components, which is exactly what I did here.

  • Thanks for the fast answer I was hoping that someone would make mixed models work (I was getting a singular fit in my past attempts with similar specification ?)! Code works perfect.
