[R-sig-ME] [R] ANOVA in R

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Samor,

Note that the R-Sig-mixed-models is more suitable for that kind of questions.
 
You need to add "+", ":" or "*" between the variables in the formula

The correlation is lme() is not the same as the correlation in SAS. The correlation in lme() is the correlation among residuals, not among random effects. You need one of the pdClasses if you want to define the correlation among the random effects. Have a look at ?nlme::pdClasses

Hence your code should probably look like this

Model <- lme(response ~ seq + period + treat*time, random = pdCompSymm(form = ~1|SUB))
anova(Model)

HTH,

Thierry

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.

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.

Hi,I'm using a repeated measures ANOVA in R using lme(). The SAS code would be:  
PROC MIXED DATA=[data set below];
     CLASS pid treat period time seq;
     MODEL Y = seq period treat time treat*time;
     REPEATED time / SUBJECT=pid TYPE=cs;
RUN,  I donot have SAS, instead I have R and I would like to try the following:
anova(lme(response ~ seq period treat time treat*time,random= ~1|SUB,    correlation=corCompSymm()))

Is this correct? Can I also write the model as

Y_ijklt = m + a_l + b_k + c_j + d_t + (cd)_jt + u_ijkltY_ijklt is the response variable due to pid i, treat j, period k, seq l, and time t. Thank you very much in advance for your help :)
