WeightLoss: Weight Loss Data

Description

Contrived data on weight loss and self esteem over three months, for three groups of individuals: Control, Diet and Diet + Exercise. The data constitute a double-multivariate design.

Usage

data(WeightLoss)

source

Originally taken from http://www.csun.edu/~ata20315/psy524/main.htm, but modified slightly

Details

Helmert contrasts are assigned to group, comparing Control vs. (Diet DietEx) and Diet vs. DietEx.

Examples

data(WeightLoss)
str(WeightLoss)
table(WeightLoss$group)

contrasts(WeightLoss$group) <- matrix(c(-2,1,1, 0, -1, 1),ncol=2)
(wl.mod<-lm(cbind(wl1,wl2,wl3,se1,se2,se3)~group, data=WeightLoss))

heplot(wl.mod, hypotheses=c("group1", "group2"))
pairs(wl.mod, variables=1:3)
pairs(wl.mod, variables=4:6)

# within-S variables
within <- data.frame(measure=rep(c("Weight loss", "Self esteem"),each=3), month=rep(ordered(1:3),2))

# not-quite-right doubly multivariate Anova
Anova(wl.mod, idata=within, idesign=~measure*month)

# do the correct analysis 'manually'
unit <- function(n, prefix="") {
	J <-matrix(rep(1, n), ncol=1)
	rownames(J) <- paste(prefix, 1:n, sep="")
	J
}
