First, fattA is a factor according to your description, but you have coded it as a numeric variable. You must coerce it to factor: M3$fattA <- as.factor(M3$fattA) Now, type III SS with Anova() only provides sensible results, if the factor contrasts are orthogonal, e.g. "contr.sum", "contr.poly", or "contr.helmert". This is not the default in R, so you should make it explicit: f5<-lm(cbind(b1,b2,b3)~fattA,data=M3, contrasts=list(fattA="contr.sum")) Now, Anova() gives the same results regardless of the SS type: > > fB<-factor(c(1:3)) > > d2<-data.frame(fB) Try: summary(Anova(f5,idata=d2,idesign=~fB,type=2),multivariate=FALSE) summary(Anova(f5,idata=d2,idesign=~fB,type=3),multivariate=FALSE) I recommend you read Fox's and Weisberg's book that explain many functions of "car", including ANOVA. See specially pages 193 and following. Type carWeb() to go to its webpage.
