similar to: Unbalanced Anova: What is the best approach?

Hi all, I've spent quite a lot of time searching through the help lists and reading about how best to run perform a 2-way ANOVA with unbalanced data. I realize this has been covered a great deal so I was trying to avoid adding yet another entry to the long list considering the use of different SS, etc. Unfortunately, I have come to the point where I feel I have to wade in and see if someone

Hello everybody, I have some questions on ANOVA in general and on ANOVA in R particularly. I am not Statistician, therefore I would be very appreciated if you answer it in a simple way. 1. First of all, more general question. Standard anova() function for lm() or aov() models in R implements Type I sum of squares (sequential), which is not well suited for unbalanced ANOVA. Therefore it is better

Hello, I'm wondering what's the best way to analyse an unbalanced design with a low number of replicates. I'm not a statistician, and I'm looking for some direction for this problem. I've a 2 factor design: Factor batch with 3 levels, and factor dose within each batch with 5 levels. Dose level 1 in batch one is replicated 4 times, level 3 is replicated only 2 times. all

Hi, I have an unbalanced dataset on which I would like to perform a one-way anova test using R (aov). According to Wannacott and Wannacott (1990) p. 333, one-way anova with unbalanced data is possible with a few modifications in the anova-calculations. The modified anova calculations should take into account different sample sizes and a modified definition of the average. I was wondering if the

Dear R-list members, I've been struggling with the proper setup for analysing my data. I've performed a route choice experiment, in which participants had to make a choice at each junction for the next road. During the experiment they received traffic information, but also encountered two different accidents. They also made trips without accidents. What I'm interested in is to

Hello Everyone, *Question: *How do you calculate the sum of squares for a two-way _unbalanced_ ANOVA? *What I have done:* I have found many useful tutorials online for running a balanced two-way ANOVA but I haven't had much luck for running a unbalanced two-way ANOVA. From what I have read, the trouble with running an unbalanced two-way ANOVA, is that things get tricky when calculating

Dear R people: I wish to switch from SPSS to R, but there is one particular type of ANOVA design that cannot be done in R. Or more likely, it can be done, but it is nowhere documented. The problem is typical for psychologists: You have a repeated measures design with different groups of subjects. Now, this can be done with the aov command, but the number of subjects in both groups must be

Hi, i'm looking for an R function to fit a one-way ANOVA with one factor containing 10 levels. The factor levels have different numbers of observations (varying between 20 to 40). For most of the dependent variables i'm testing there are unequal variances among the factor levels. I see the function oneway.test: oneway.test(variable ~ factor, data=dataset) which by default does not

Hello R-users, I am trying to obtain Type III SS for an ANOVA with subsampling. My design is slightly unbalanced with either 3 or 4 subsamples per replicate. The basic aov model would be: fit <- aov(y~x+Error(subsample)) But this gives Type I SS and not Type III. But, using the drop() option: drop1(fit, test="F") I get an error message: "Error in

Hi I am performing an analysis of variance with two factors, each with two levels. I have differing numbers of observations in each of the four combinations, but all four combinations *are* present (2 of the factor combinations have 3 observations, 1 has 4 and 1 has 5) I have used both anova(aov(...)) and anova(lm(...)) in R and it gave the same result - as expected. I then plugged this into

Dear R-list! My question is related to an Anova including within and between subject factors and unequal group sizes. Here is a minimal example of what I did: library(car) within1 <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,4,5,3,2); within2 <- c(3,4,3,4,3,4,3,4,5,4) values <- data.frame(w1 = within1, w2 = within2) values <- as.matrix(values) between <- factor(c(rep(1,4), rep(2,6))) betweenanova <-

Dear R-Community! For example I have a study with 4 treatment groups (10 subjects per group) and 4 visits. Additionally, the gender is taken into account. I think - and hope this is a goog idea (!) - this data can be analysed using lme as below. In a balanced design everything is fine, but in an unbalanced design there are differences depending on fitting y~visit*treat*gender or

Dear all, I need an help because I am really not able to find over internet a good example in R to analyze an unbalanced table with Anova with repeated measures. For unbalanced table I mean that the questions are not answered all by the same number of subjects. For a balanced case I would use the command aov1 = aov(response ~ stimulus*condition + Error(subject/(stimulus*condition)), data=scrd)

Hello everybody, I have got a data set with about 400 companies. Each company has a score for its enviroment comportment between 0 and 100. These companies belong to about 15 different countries. I have e.g. 70 companies from UK and 5 from Luxembourg,- so the data set is pretty unbalanced and I want to do an ANOVA. Somthing like aov(enviromentscore~country). But the aov function is just for

Dear list members, I want to use a GLM with an unbalanced factor and continuous variables. My factor F has 12 unbalanced levels:

Dear all, Type III SS time again. This case trying to reproduce some SPSS (type III) data in R for a repeated measures anova with a betwSS factor included. As I understand this list etc, if I want type III then I can do library(car) Anova(lm.obj, type="III") But for the repeated measures anova, I need to include an Error-term in the aov() call (Psychology-guide from Jonathan Baron)

Hello, For an experiment, I selected plots of land within a forest either with honeysuckle or without honeysuckle. Thus, my main factor is fixed, with 2 levels: "honeysuckle present"(n=11) and "honeysuckle absent"(n=8). Within each plot of land, I have a "trenched" subplot and an "untrenched" subplot. Within each subplot of every plot, I measured soil

Hi all, Say I have the following data: a<-data.frame(col1=c(rep("a",5),rep("b",7)),col2=runif(12)) a_aov<-aov(a$col2~a$col1) summary(aov) Note that there are 5 observations for a and 7 for b, thus is unbalanced. What would be the correct way of doing anova for this set? Thanks, Sachin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

To anyone who can help: I am trying to do an analysis of variance with a very unbalanced design and a few empty cells. How do I get R to use type III and more importantly type IV sums of squares? Thanks Deven Hamilton Department of Sociology University of Washington

Hi, I have been having some trouble using aov to do an anova, probably because I'm not understanding how to use this function correctly. For some reason it always tells me that "Estimated effects may be unbalanced", though I'm not sure what this means. Is the formula I am using written incorrectly? Below is the code I am using along with the data: > my.data response
