This happens because your model should be : aov.out = aov(values ~ time + Error(subject), data=mydata2)
This will not generate any error. However, you should be aware that aov is not suitable for unbalanced data, for which it will give inconsistent results. In such case, you can use the lme function : require(nlme) aov2 <- lme(fixed= values~time, random=~1|subject, na.action=na.omit, data=mydata2) summary(aov2) anova(aov2) Le 19 juin 2015 à 02:42, gianni lavaredo <gianni.lavar...@gmail.com> a écrit : > I am doing Repeated Measures ANOVA with missing values.
