I keep getting error messages:' The levels of the repeated effect are not different for each observation within a repeated subject.' Can anyone offer me some advice whether I can perform Mixed Effect Model in SPSS with my data or I have organised my data correctly?
I have two groups of participants X and Y who performed two sets of tasks i.e. A and B. Group 1 has 12 subjects, Group 2 has 16 subjects. Each subjects performed 12 trials in each of the tasks although there are some missing data. I'm interested in the differences in latency (Dependent Variable) between the two groups and tasks (i.e. standard Mixed Plot ANOVA design) and would like to use Linear Mixed Model to analyse the data in SPSS. I labelled Task as Repeated Measures factor (same group of participants in both tasks), Group as Fixed Effect, and ID as Random Effect.
I've organised my data in this manner:
ID Group Task Latency
1 A 1 283
1 A 1 357
1 A 1 457
2 A 1 289
