Dear R list, Please, could someone help me with SSQ decomposition and contrasts. Below my data, graphic, ANOVAs and my doubt: # Data a = paste('a', gl(3, 8), sep='') b = paste('b', gl(2, 4, 24), sep='') tra = sort(paste('t', rep(1:6, 4), sep='')) y = c(26.2, 26.0, 25.0, 25.4, 24.8, 24.6, 26.7, 25.2, 25.7, 26.3, 25.1, 26.4, 19.6, 21.1, 19.0, 18.6, 22.8, 19.4, 18.8, 19.2, 19.8, 21.4, 22.8, 21.3) dF = data.frame(a, b, tra, y) # Graphic par(mfrow=c(2,1)) interaction.plot(dF$a, dF$b, dF$y, ylab = 'y', xlab = 'a') interaction.plot(dF$b, dF$a, dF$y, ylab = 'y', xlab = 'b') # ANOVAs av0 = aov(y ~ tra, data=dF) summary(av0) av1 = aov(y ~ a*b, data=dF) summary(av1) av2 = aov(y ~ a/b, data=dF) b_a = summary(av2, split = list('a:b' = list( 'b1 vs b2/a1' = 1, 'b1 vs b2/a2' = 2, 'b1 vs b2/a3' = 3))) b_a av3 = aov(y ~ b/a, data=dF) a_b = summary(av3, split = list('b:a' = list( 'a/b1' = c(1,3), 'a/b2' = c(2,4)))) a_b # My doubts a) How to make the SSQ decomposition to complete the ANOVA below? -------------------------------------------------------- Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) b 1 19.082 19.082 14.875 0.001155 b:a 4 156.622 39.155 30.524 8.438e-08 -------------------------------------------------------- b:a: a/b1 (2) (87.122) 43.561 33.958 7.776e-07 -------------------------------------------------------- a1 vs (a2, a3) 1 ? ? ? ? a2 vs a3 1 ? ? ? ? -------------------------------------------------------- b:a: a/b2 (2) (69.500) 34.750 27.090 3.730e-06 -------------------------------------------------------- a1 vs (a2, a3) 1 ? ? ? ? a2 vs a3 1 ? ? ? ? -------------------------------------------------------- Residuals 18 23.090 1.283 -------------------------------------------------------- b) How to make the SSQ decomposition to complete the ANOVA below? -------------------------------------------------------- Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) b 1 19.082 19.082 14.875 0.001155 b:a 4 156.622 39.155 30.524 8.438e-08 -------------------------------------------------------- b:a: a/b1 (2) (87.122) 43.561 33.958 7.776e-07 -------------------------------------------------------- a2 vs (a1, a3) 1 ? ? ? ? a1 vs a3 1 ? ? ? ? -------------------------------------------------------- b:a: a/b2 (2) (69.500) 34.750 27.090 3.730e-06 -------------------------------------------------------- a2 vs (a1, a3) 1 ? ? ? ? a1 vs a3 1 ? ? ? ? -------------------------------------------------------- Residuals 18 23.090 1.283 -------------------------------------------------------- Or, In this case, how can I to test these constrasts?
