[R] mixed model MANCOVA

[John Fox]

Dear Erika et al.,

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but you might take a look at the
Anova() function in the car package, which will compute "type-II" or
"type-III" tests for multivariate linear models, including models with
repeated measures; you can also get the traditional univariate tests. Be
very careful of Type-III tests, especially if the covariate is involved in
interactions, since it's very easy to test strange hypotheses (as is true
even in a univariate context). There are some examples of repeated-measures
ANOVAs and MANOVAs in ?Anova.

I hope this helps,
  John
