| Abstract: | The pretest-posttest control group design is a popular design and frequently discussed in the literature. In this study multivariate models are investigated for pretest posttest data and a comparison is made with univariate methods, the change score method and the regressor variable method. Three simulation studies were con- ducted to investigate differences. The first study provides a basic comparison, while the second study focuses on the investigation of heterogeneous treatment effects. In the third simulation study, the analyses of two dependent variables are investigated. The results showed no significant differences between univariate and multivariate methods in the studies one and two. Nevertheless, the third study showed that the multivariate method provides higher power and a better Type-1 error rate compared to univariate methods when investigating two dependent variables. The multivariate method can provide better results in analyzing multivariate pretest posttest data, when compared to the univariate methods. |
