[R] Two-way non-parametric ANOVA?

[David Airey]

While I defer to Frank as far as expertise goes, not having access to  
his paper, I googled, and I just read that this kind of model is not  
possible when there are a lack of ties for ranks in the data, and adds  
an intercept for every rank in the data set. So while interpretation  
doesn't get more difficult with additional ranks, unlike the  
multinonimal model, Frank's suggestion would not fly for continuous  
data that was transformed to ranks, as opposed to data collected as  
ordered categories, where it would be preferable.
