Hi all,

This one of probably many questions i will likely be posting on using linear mixed models over the next few months. It's my first crack at using this and i'm slowly working through the lingo by reading as much as I can. I read the SPSS technical report on this and i found an example from nice little article that i am using to mess with my data. http://www.indiana.edu/~statmath/stat/all/hlm/hlm.pdf

The article explains the interpretation of the intercept term in the empty model is equivalent to the overall math achievement score.

My data have time in hh:mm:ss as the DV.

In my sample analysis, the scale of the intercept is not in hh:mm:ss and i can't seem to adjust to to be in this format with the "cell properties" when i click on the output.

It would be really helpful to have the correct scale versus just the p-value for interpretation purposes. Anyone have thoughts on how I can do this?


I am running version 14.0 and we won't be upgrading anytime soon.

Thanks much.
Carol
