Hai Ingmar, nice to see you again. well, I consider time series as the most important aspect in my experiment. ANOVA can only show whether the mean are different, and combined with Turkey HSD, the greatest they can do is showing the difference for each pair of subject. Time Series in other side, can give whether the smart has real difference with the average, in term of their cognitive process. Their learning time, their capability to adapt their mental representation when dealing with new pattern or regularity. They can all be plotted and we can check it.
Of course by the plot alone, we can say something meaningfull. But, the conclusion is more subjective than objective and is not as strong as statistical approach. Anyway, my hypothesis for this is the subject follow different models. I don't care if the model being followed are ARIMA(1,2,0) with AR(2); or AR(2) and MA(1). I just want to know if the models are different. So far, the only way I have is checking their model one by one. I'm curious if there is another way to check the hypothesis best regards, Nathanael Ingmar Visser wrote: > > Nathanael, > > > How important is the time series aspect here?
