In the two solutions for the repeated measures problem given in the
original reply below, the F and p values given by aov() with the error
strata defined by Error() are different from those given by lme().
However, when one does the problem "by hand" using the standard split
plot model, the results agree with those of nlme(). The difference
between the two aov() solutions is in the partitioning of sums of
squares. Is there a ready explanation for this discrepancy?
Thanks,
Richard Plant
