R and SAS code to fit a mixed-effects model instead of one-way repeated measures ANOVA

Prism 8 introduces fitting a mixed-effects model to allow, essentially, repeated measures ANOVA with missing values. We provide R and SAS code to show your statistical consultants, so they can understand what Prism is doing. This example is for one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Another FAQ covers two-way repeated measures ANOVA with repeated measures in both factors
