Hello, I am so sorry, but I have been struggling with the code for the entire day.
I have a very simple dataset that looks like this: response=c(45,47,24,35,47,56,29) sub=c("A","A","B","B","C","C","C"£© time=c(1,2,1,2,1,2,3) gdata=cbind(response,sub,time) Namely, for three subjects, each has 2 or 3 observations. Assuming that each subject has a different variance, I want to test whether the mean for the three subjects are equal. I tried: library(nlme) weight <- varIdent(form = ~ 1 | sub ) lme1 <- lme(response~sub, weights = weight, data = gdata) However, it shows error: Error in getGroups.data.frame(dataMix, groups) : invalid formula for groups Can anyone help me? Eventually want to try this: lme1 <- lme(response~sub, weights = weight, data = gdata) lme2 <- lme(response~1, weights = weight, data = gdata) lrtest(lme1,lme2) Am I on the right track? Or can anyone think of a better method? Thank you very much! Best regards, Amanda [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
