Announcements

  • November 10, 2016:
    There is an issue with type 3 sum of squares and drop1 when you use contr.treatment. I've updated the slides "Factorial Treatment Structure II", p.23 and the R-file "04_unbalanced_data_demo.R" (week 5).
  • September 1st, 2016:
    Beginning of lecture: Monday, 26/09/2016. (Exercises start on 26/09/2016 at 15:15 in room HG E 1.1, with a special introduction to the "R" software)
