Question: Chapter 12 Assignment Name Description of the Data: The data set contains part of the data for a study of oral condition of cancer patients

Chapter 12 Assignment Name Description of the Data: The data set contains part of the data for a study of oral condition of cancer patients conducted at the Mid-Michigan Medical Center. The oral conditions of the patients were measured and recorded at the initial stage, at the end of the second week, at the end of the fourth week, and at the end of the sixth week. The variables age, initial weight and initial cancer stage of the patients were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups at random: one group received a placebo and the other group received aloe juice treatment. Sample size:, n = 25 patients with neck cancer. The treatment is Aloe Juice. (See the Excel File \"Chapter 12 Dataset\" to complete the questions below.) Variable Names: ID- Patient ID TRT- treatment group: 0 = placebo; 1 = aloe juice AGE- patient's age in years WEIGHTIN- patient's weight at the initial stage STAGE- initial cancer stage, coded 1 through 4 TOTALCIN- oral condition at the initial stage TOTALCW2- oral condition at the end of week 2 TOTALCW4- oral condition at the end of week 4 TOTALCW6- oral condition at the end of week 6 Research Question: Does using aloe juice affect the oral condition of patients with neck cancer after controlling for weight, age, and cancer stage? Is there a change in oral condition from week 1 to week 2 to week 4 to week 6? 1. What type of test will we perform? 2. What are the independent variables, dependent variables, and covariates? Independent variable: Dependent variables: Covariates: 3. List the assumptions for this type of test. 4. Are the dependent variables a continuous measurement? 5. Is the independent variable categorical? What are the categories? 6. Identify the null and alternative hypothesis. H0: H1: Now, let's perform our analysis.

According to the output, does our dataset satisfy the requirement of sphericity? How do you know? 8. Identify the appropriate test statistic and p-value for testing the claim that aloe juice is an effective treatment for improving oral condition in neck cancer patients. Test statistic: p-value: 9. If appropriate, use post hoc tests to determine if there is a change in oral condition from week 1 to week 2 to week 4 to week 6. If not, explain why. State your conclusion and reasons for your decision. 10. Use APA style reporting to write up your results of this analysis
