Dear R users, I have a rather knotty analysis problem and I was hoping that someone on this list would be able to help. I was advised to try this list by a colleague who uses R but it is a statistical inquiry not about how to use R. In brief I have a 3x2 anova, 2 tasks under 3 conditions, within subjects. I also took a variety of personality measures that might influence the results under the

I am trying to run an ANCOVA with defined error terms. Thus I have to use AOV and not lm. my response variable is proportion of mice paw prints on track plates. These plates were placed on plots that had vegetation and fruit manipulated to two levels each (present or absent), and were sampled monthly for 14 months (repeated measures). The fully crossed factor design was also blocked. My sample

Dear All, I am a researcher doing research in plant growth and I have a statistical problem that seems to not be able to handle. Recently, I conducted an experiment about plant growing in three different nutrient-level sediments. I harvested these every three week (three harvests in all). Some growth traits of these plants were recorded (e.g. total biomass, leaf biomass and stem biomass). In

Hello, I am trying to test some results I have for significance. It has been recommended that I use R and I am completely new to this. Set-up: Groups: two groups of 8 subjects (16 total) Two conditions: alert and passive Measurements: responses for three different stimuli (A, B, and C) measured in each condition Experiment: Testing the order of conditions Group one: Alert A, B

Dear list, I would like to run an ANCOVA using car::Anova with repeated measures factors, but I can't figure out how to do it. My (between-subjects) covariate always interacts with my within-subject factors. As far as I understand ANCOVA, covariates usually do not interact with the effects of interest but are simply additive (or am I wrong here?). More specifically, I can add a covariate as

Dear R Masters, I'm an anesthesiology resident trying to make his way through basic statistics. Recently I have been confronted with longitudinal data in a treatment vs. control analysis. My dataframe is in the form of: subj | group | baseline | time | outcome (long) or subj | group | baseline | time1 |...| time6 | (wide) The measured variable is a continuous one. The null hypothesis in

Dear list member, I deperately need an help in performing a MANOVA in R, but I encountered some problems both in the design and in the synthax with R. I conducted a listening experiment in which 16 participants had to rate the audio stimuli along 5 scales representing an emotion (sad, tender, neutral, happy and aggressive). Each audio stimulus was synthesized in order to represent a

I am trying to apply a permuation-based MANOVA (Anderson 2001) to a set of morphological data from three ecomorphs of fish reared under two different conditions and measured at two points during ontogeny. I will supply a distance matrix based on Procrustes distances calculated outside of vegan. I have not found an example of a design such as this for adonis. However, I have designed my factors

Can R do a repeated measures MANOVA and tell what dimensionality the statistical variance occupies? I have been using MATLAB and SPSS to do my statistics. MATLAB can do ANOVAs and MANOVAs. When it performs a MANOVA, it returns a parameter d that estimates the dimensionality in which the means lie. It also returns a vector of p-values, where each p_n tests the null hypothesis that the mean

Dear R- and Omega-list-members, I am trying to make statistical inference about the following design: A dependent variable y has been measured multiple times, i.e. 4 times (y1,y2, y3, y4), unfortunately suffering from some successive dropouts (i.e. the sample sizes varies for y1, y2, y3, and y4). For every y, two other variables (covariates) were also measured: x & z, and both do presumably

I have several demographic variables with which I want to explain the ordered choice of individuals within a survey in an ordered choice (probit or logit, this is not important) framework. Standard ordered choice estimations of course just give me aggregate/average parameter estimates. For my task it would however be useful to estimate or extract "hypothetical" individual-level parameter

Dear R-devel'ers Below is an outline for a set of routines to improve support for multivariate linear models and "classical" repeated measurements analysis. Nothing has been coded yet, so everything is subject to change as loose ideas get confronted by the harsh realities of programming. Comments are welcome. They might even influence the implementation... -pd General

Hello all, Is there an r function that exists that will perform repeated measures MANOVAs? For example, let's say I have 3 DVs, one between-subjects IV, and one within-subjects IV. Based on the documentation for the manova command, a function like that below is not appropriate because it cannot take Error arguments. manova(cbind(DV1,DV2,DV3) ~ BetweenSubjectsIV * WithinSubjectsIV +

Hello, I have a question regarding performing manova. I have an experiment where I want to measure 10 output variables for 3 different measurement methods. Since each of the methods requires some user interaction, I would also like to include repeated measures for each of the output variables to include intraobserver variability in the design. How can I perform such a repeated-measures

Hi I compouted a multiple linear regression with repeated measures on one explanatory variable: BOLD peak (blood oxygenation) as dependent variable, and as independent variables I have: -age.group (binaray:young(0)/old(1)) -and task-difficulty measured by means of the reaction-time 'rt'. For 'rt' I have repeated measurements, since each subject did 12 different tasks. -> so

I'm trying to perform ANCOVAs in R 1.14, on a Mac OS X, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Essentially, I'm testing whether a number of quantitative dental measurements (the response variables in each ANCOVA) show sexual dimorphism (the sexes are the groups) independently of the animal's size (the concomitant variable). I have attached a 13-column matrix as a data

Hi, I would like to conduct a MANOVA. I know that there 's the manova() funciton and the summary.manova() function to get the appropriate summary of test statistics. I just don't manage to specify my model in the manova() call. How to specify a model with multiple responses and one explanatory factor? If I type:

I am a little bit confusing about the following help message on how to fit a GAM model with interaction between factor and smooth terms from http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/mgcv/html/gam.models.html: ?Sometimes models of the form: E(y)=b0+f(x)z need to be estimated (where f is a smooth function, as usual.) The appropriate formula is: y~z+s(x,by=z) - the by argument ensures that the smooth

Dear All, I wonder if anyone has written a code for power analysis with repeated measures ANCOVA? I am aware of the following reference: Frison L and Pocock SJ: Repeated Measures in Clinical Trials: analysis using mean summary statistics and its implications for design in Statistics in Medicine, 1992, 11:1685-1704. Statistics in Medicine It will probably be fairly easy to code this up

I would like to test the hypothesis that the difference between pairs, for several variables, is zero. This is easily done separately for each variable with: lm(Y ~ rep(0, nrow(Y))) where Y is a matrix whose columns are the differences for each variable between pair members. However, I would like to get an overall probability across all variables from a Wilks or Pillai-Bartlett statistic as in
