Analysis of unbalanced data in nlme or car
...another study, I am investigating the interactions between pesticides in a two-way design: (pesticideA x no pesticide A) crossed with (pesticideB x no pesticide B). The blocks and number of replicates is as above, and the data are unbalanced again. The model is defined as model<-lme(growth.rate~pestA*pestB,random=~1|block). When I run intervals (model), I usually get the following error message: "Error in intervals.lme(model) : Cannot get confidence intervals on var-cov components: Non-positive definite approximate variance-covariance". I have read on the mailing list that the error m...
