[R] Adjusted Means

[John Fox]

Dear Mattune,

I guess that you're using the effect() function in the effects package.
You've requested the effect for the covariate fixing the values of the
factors, rather than vice-versa. Try effect("a*b*c", Anocova.Model) or, for
more detail in the output, summary(effect("a*b*c", Anocova.Model)). I
assume, BTW, that you fit the model X ~ a*b*c + d, with d the covariate,
rather than what you said you did.

I hope this helps,
 John
