[R] ANCOVA with defined error terms

[hpdutra]

Thanks Richard,

I tried running the analysis the way you suggested but here is the error
that I get

> track.aov <- aov(mice ~ coon+block*veget*fruit*time -
> block:veget:fruit:time
+                 + Error(block/plot), data = track)
Warning message:
In aov(kotz.mice ~ kotz.coon + block * veget * fruit * time -
block:veget:fruit:time +  :
  Error() model is singular

> anova(track.aov)
Error in UseMethod("anova") : no applicable method for "anova"

I'm not sure you can use the function anova for an aov object. I tried
summary and it also didn't work. Did you mean something else?
Thanks
