It would have been helpful, and may still be necessary, for you to  
explain more fully what you were attempting to do. See if this effort  
was informative.

  bwplot(error ~ methods | attr * groups, data=df,
       as.table=TRUE, outer=FALSE, strip=TRUE, notch=TRUE,
       scales=list(y=list(alternating=TRUE,
                           tck=c(1,0)),
                   x=list(labels=c( expression(method == 1),  
expression(alpha == 1)) )
         )         )
