* chapter_13_table_12 For the hypothetical data contained in Table 13.2, the linear and quadratic D variables were formed by making use of the appropriate coefficients from Appendix Table A.10. Because the eight participants were measured at three occasions, both a linear and a quadratic effect can be tested. The question of interest in this instance is: "Is there a linear and/or quadratic trend exhibited by the group over time?" Recall that in the book (pages 646-647) it was shown that the D variables for linear and quadratic effects led to an omnibus F test of 19.148, which was a value previously obtained for the omnibus effect. Because the particular values chosen for the D variables do not matter (unless it leads to a linear combination of columns), we will focus only on the tests of the individual contrasts when analyzing the data given in Table 12. Because the data is already in the form of a D variable, all that needs to be done is to test the data to see if the mean differs from zero. The easiest way to do this is by making use of PROC TTEST and specifying the null value to be zero. ; LIBNAME md 'd:\data files by type\sas data files\tables'; Data c13t12; SET md.chapter_13_table_12; PROC TTEST DATA=c13t12 H0=0; RUN;
