[R] Interpreting summary.lm for a 2 factor anova

Dear Sir,

Many thanks for the explanation. Prior to your email (with some help from a
friend of mine) I was able to figure this one out. If we look at the model
: -

y = intercept + B1.woolB + B2. tensionM + B3.tensionH + B4. woolB.TensionM
+ B5.woolB.TensionH + error

Here woolB, tensionM, tensionH are the dummy indicator variables similar to
how you have defined them.

Now suppose we consider y1,..,yn, all in group A.L (say).

Then y1 + ... + yn = intercept => average(y1,...,yn) = intercept + 0 + 0 +
0 + 0 + 0.

What was confusing me was how to compute the cell mean in woolB,tensionH
cell.

If we have y_1,...,y_n all in group B.H then :-

y_1+ ... + y_n = intercept + B1 + 0 + B3 + 0 +  B5

Therefore average of group B.H = intercept + B1 + B3 + B5

Many thanks and Best Regards,
Ashim
