R help - Mar 2006 - Use of step() with an unbalanced ANOVA model

Dear all,

Is it dangerous to use step() during model simplification when I have an 
ANOVA design that is unbalanced (i.e. there is order dependence when 
entering the terms into the full model)?

Thanks very much for your help!

Kind regards,
Christoph

This is not really answering your question...  If the data really came from
a designed experiment, I believe `model simplification' is likely
inappropriate.
