Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents the use of repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) in biomedical studies. Special attention is given to conceptualization of research questions, data computerization and data presentation as well as to assumptions for this method. We also discuss recommendations for presenting results of RM-ANOVA in scientific reports. For better understanding of the method we present practical example using the data on repeatedly measured blood glucose levels in patients with PCOS and healthy women from different ethnic groups after oral glucose tolerance test. Practical implementation of RM-ANOVA in R and SPSS software is also given with syntax and graphs.
