Thanks Bruce,

To be honest, I'm hoping for a linear trend in this study. A quadratic
one wouldn't make much sense in this case, and with only 3 time points
wouldn't be very convincing either. But I do have another study (not
repeated measures, 5 ordinal groups and one continuous variable) where
it looks like there might be quadratic trend (confession here to
peeking at the data halfway through). It might be very useful for that
one, thanks!


I just re-read your first post. I guess "expecting" was the wrong
word. It sounds like you *observed* a quadratic trend (result went
up, then back down).
