Hi Thierry, You get this error because you have not done the comparison the way I said you should, by putting the lme$obj model first in the call to anova(). This ensures that lme's anova method is invoked, rather than lm's anova method. You really do need to be careful with this... ## From my original posting >> ## Compare models with and without random effects >> fm <- lm(Reaction ~ Days, sleepstudy) >> fm1 <- lme(Reaction ~ Days, random= ~1|Subject, sleepstudy) >> anova(fm1, fm) ## lme-fitted model must come first Regards, Mark. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/lmm-WITHOUT-random-factor-lme4-tp3384054p3386810.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
