Dear experts,

I just noticed that I get different results conducting type III anova using drop1 or the Anova command from the car package. I suppose I made a mistake and hope you can offer me some help. I have no idea where I got wrong and would be very grateful for explaination as R is new terrain for me. If I run the commands in line, they produce the same results. But if I run them in seperate windows, they produce different results.

What I did in easy words:
Opened R prompt, ran parts 0 and 1-> got result 1
Opened new R prompt, ran parts 0 and 2 ->got result 2, ran part 1 following part 2, got result 2a

Why are the results different when they are run seperately and why do the commands produce the same results when running one after the other? Which results can I rely on? I based my script on: http://mcfromnz.wordpress.com/2011/03/0 ... explained/ <http://mcfromnz.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/anova-type-iiiiii-ss-explained/> but I surely made mistakes.

Thanks for help.
Kind regards,
Christiane
