I am new to R, therefore this might be a naive question, sorry in advance for that. I have data on 4 groups of mice (#of subjects: 8,8,8,9) where the first group is the control group and 2-4 are 3 doses of a neuro-inhibitor. For each mouse we measured the exploration time of a familiar and a new object (thus repeated measure design), and I want to test whether there are different exploration times between 'familiar' and 'new' and whether drug treatment has an effect on exploration plus the combined effect. Checking out the mailing list archives I found the helpful page by J. Baron on R in psychology and tried to adapt his example in chapter 6. Below you can find the result, and I simply wanted to ask some more experienced statistitian than me if I did the right thing with these data. Thanks in advance, Christian. souris.mat <- matrix(c( 54, 95, 45, 90, 19, 50, 21, 70, 13, 33, 33, 71, 52, 62, 46, 83, 16, 38, 34, 85, 23, 59, 40, 77, 26, 65, 16, 29, 36, 65, 41, 67, 52, 71, 34, 44, 73, 86, 43, 55, 34, 48, 40, 50, 34, 43, 35, 42, 60, 57, 38, 51, 55, 59, 59, 64, 38, 33, 38, 39, 39, 37, 54, 57, 38, 40), nrow = 33, byrow = T) souris.mul <- cbind.data.frame(subj=1:33, dm=factor(rep(1:4,c(8,8,8,9))),souris.mat) # dm = dose medicament dimnames(souris.mul)[[2]] <- c("subj","dm","objFam","objNFam") # objFam = objet familier, objNFam = objet non-familier souris.uni <- data.frame(effect = as.vector(souris.mat), subj = factor(paste("s",rep(1:33,2),sep="")), dm = factor(paste("dm",rep(rep(1:4,c(8,8,8,9)),2), sep="")), familier = factor(paste("fam",rep(1:2,c(33,33)),sep="")), row.names = NULL) resultat <- summary(aov(effect ~ dm * familier + Error(subj + subj:familier), data = souris.uni)) -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
