Hi there,

I want to do a nonparametric covariance analysis and I have tried to use the 
package "sm" function "sm.ancova" but it didn't work for me because I have more 
then one covariates (I have 18 covariates and 3 factors).

I want to analyse for one factor (who has 13 levels) where the differences for 
my response are, using the explanatory (covariates). (The other two factors are: 
Temperature and force needed).

I mean, I want to create groups for the levels of the factor, where within each 
group no significant difference exist.

My residuals haven't normal distribution and aren't homoscedastic. I have tried 
already the boxcox transformation and glm procedures, but whitout success. So I 
am looking for these methos for nonparametrics analysis of covariance.

Thanks for any help.
