How to model variables if they have a bidirectional relationship

Chudamani — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 03:19:08 GMT

In my study, I am trying to perform multi-level (three levels) longitudinal mixed-modeling on panel data with 6-time points. There is a bidirectional relationship between my predictor (education level) and the continuous outcome variable (cognitive score). I am assessing if education is associated with cognitive trajectories over time. How should I model my variables?

Hello,

I have moved your question to the "statistical procedures" board.

When I started doing multi-level (2+ levels) longitudinal mixed-modeling, I started here :

Using SAS PROC MIXED to Fit Multilevel Models, Hierarchical Models, and Individual Growth Models

Good luck,

Koen
