Me too: thanks all.

This particular question has suddenly become relevant to me as I'm
trying to do a bit of simulating to model power for a repeated measures
ANOVA and I'm caught away from my books and challenged by ageing brain.

... some snipped ...

>>> libary(nlme)
>>> summary(lme(c~time, random=~1|subj,data=mydata)
>> There is also anova.mlm:

>> d <- read.table("clipboard", header=T)
>> Y <- as.matrix(d)
>> fit1 <- lm(Y~1)
>> fit0 <- lm(Y~0)
>> anova(fit0, fit1, X=~1, test="Spherical")
>> anova(fit0, fit1, X=~1, test="Wilks")

OK.  Now my stupid question.  I want to model a situation in which
people are measured at three points on a scale and in the model I'm
starting with a linear fall in scores with occasion.

I can think of three ways to test this change: nlme for a mixed model,
lm for a classical repeated measures ANOVA and anova.mlm for the MANOVA
approach.  So here's some of my code from within my simulation function:

  scores <- c(baseline,mid,end)  ## simulated data
  lm.ID <- rep(1:size,3)
  occ <- rep(1:3,each=size)
  tmp.lme <- lme(scores ~ occ, random=~1|lm.ID)
  names(tmp.lme)
  nlme.coeff <- tmp.lme[4]$coefficients$fixed[2]
  tmp.sum <- summary(tmp.lme)
  nlme.p <- unlist(tmp.sum[19])[10]
  mlmfit <- lm(lm.scores ~ 1)
  mlmfit0 <- update(mlmfit, ~0)
  tmp.man <- anova(mlmfit,mlmfit0,X=~1,test="Wilks")
  manova.p <- tmp.man[8][2,1]

Am I right that the above extracts the p value for the nlme test of the
individual slopes of score against occasion and then the MANOVA test ...
of no difference between occasions?

How would I ask for a conventional univariate ANOVA repeated measures lm
model and its test?  Sorry, I know I should know but I don't and can't
see it in ?lm, ?formula.

TIA,

Chris
