maybe the following is working?

aov(Points~Game*Store+Error(subj+Store:subj))

| Hi Sven,
|
| I think that you could also use `lme', i.e., something like:
|
| library(nlme)
| lme1 <- lme(Points~Game, random=~1|Store, data=kh.df)
| lme2 <- lme(Points~Game, random=~1|Store/Game, data=kh.df)
|
| anova(lme1)
| anova(lme2)
| anova(lme1, lme2)
|
| I hope this helps.
