[R] Contrast anova multi factor

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Mario,

The interpretation is the same: the average at the reference situation
which is the group that has f1 == "f1 level1" and f2 == "f2 level1".

Best regards,

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
~ John Tukey
