similar to: unbalanced one-way ANOVA

Hi all I'm trying to complete a textbook example originally designed for SPSS in R, and I therefore need to find out how to compute an unbalanced ANOVA in R. I did a search on the mailinglist archives an found a post by Prof. Ripley saying one should use the lme function for (among other things) unbalanced ANOVAs, but I have not been able to use this object. My code gives me an error.. Why

I have a three-way unbalanced ANOVA that I need to calculate (fixed effects plus interactions, no random effects). But word has it that aov() is good only for balanced designs. I have seen a number of different recommendations for working with unbalanced designs, but they seem to differ widely (car, nlme, lme4, etc.). So I would like to know what is the best or most usual way to go about working

Full_Name: Tanya Logvinenko Version: 1.7.0 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (132.183.156.125) For unbalanced design, I ran into problem with ANOVA (aov function). The sum of squares for only for the second factor and total are computed correctly, but sum of squares for the first factor is computed incorreclty. Changing order of factors in the formula changes the ANOVA table. For the

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]]

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

Hi, I have used the instruction aov in the following manner: res <- aov(qwe ~ asd) when I typed "res" I get: _________ Call: aov(formula = qwe ~ asd) Terms: asd Residuals Sum of Squares 0.0708704 0.5255957 Deg. of Freedom 1 8 Residual standard error: 0.2563191 Estimated effects may be unbalanced _________ I need to access the value of

Hi all, I'm new to R and have the following problem: I have a 2 factor design (a has 2 levels, b has 3 levels). I have an object kidney.aov which is an aov(y ~ a*b), and when I ask for model.tables(kidney.avo, se=T) I get the following message along with the table of effects: Design is unbalanced - use se.contrast() for se's but the design is NOT unbalanced... each fator level

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 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)

Hi I have data from 12 subjects. The measurement is log(expression) of a particular gene and can be assumed to be normally distributed. The 12 subjects are divided into the following groups: Infected, Vaccinated, Lesions - 3 measurements Infected, Vaccintaed, No Lesions - 2 measurements Infected, Not Vaccinated, Lesions - 4 measurements Uninfected, Not Vaccinated, No Lesions - 3 measurements

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 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

hi all - i'm having trouble using lme to specify a mixed effects model. i'm pretty sure this is quite easy for the experienced anova-er, which i unfortunately am not. i have a data frame with the following columns: col 1 : "Score1" (this is a continuous numeric measure between 0 and 1) col 2 : "Score2" (another continuous numeric measure, this time bounded between 0

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and also new to statistics and I would appreciated it if someone would take some time to answer my question. I am analyzing companies in regard to their leverage. I categorized the companies into 3 groups: small, mid and large. For the group small, I have 55 debt multiples, for mid 42 and for large 72. (Unfortunately I can not provide my data because it is
