Hi,
I have encountered the following error, when using 'aov', which I think
has something to do with the length of my call to 'aov', and I cannot
understand why:
Error in model.frame.default(formula = Y2 ~ P2 + P2:AAAAAAAA +
P2:B2 + :
object is not a matrix
The error occurs when I run the first sequence below, but not the
second. The two sequences are based on the SAME data, but in one
case, the variable names are longer [Although I don't think the nature
of my analysis is relevant here, it is a 3-way repeated measures
ANOVA; the "P" factor is a random factor for participants in an
experiment and the A,B,C factors are factorially crossed within P].
## RESULTS IN ERROR:> AK2.df <<- read.table("foo.data", col.names =
c("Y2",
"P2","AAAAAAAA","B2","C2"))> AK2.df$P2 <- as.factor(AK2.df$P2)
> attach(AK2.df)
> AK2anova.out <- aov(Y2 ~ AAAAAAAA * B2 * C2 + Error(P2 + P2:AAAAAAAA +
P2:B2 + P2:C2 + P2:AAAAAAAA:B2 + P2:AAAAAAAA:C2 + P2:B2:C2 +
P2:AAAAAAAA:B2:C2), data=AK2.df)
Error in model.frame.default(formula = Y2 ~ P2 + P2:AAAAAAAA + P2:B2 + :
object is not a matrix
## IDENTICAL ANALYSIS WITH DIFFERENT VARIABLE NAMES DOES NOT PRODOCE
ERROR:> AK.df <<- read.table("foo.data", col.names =
c("Y", "P","A","B","C"))
> AK.df$P <- as.factor(AK.df$P)
> attach(AK.df)
> AKanova.out <- aov(Y ~ A * B * C + Error(P + P:A + P:B + P:C + P:A:B +
P:A:C + P:B:C + P:A:B:C), data=AK.df)
I have reproduced this error in a number of ways, and the only common
characteristic I can see to my actions is that the length of the call
to 'aov' is always too long: either one of the variable names is too
long, or I include too many error terms, etc...).
Any help would be appreciated,
