Hello,
I am using ezAnova for the first time and I am a bit lost.

My data "epindata" looks like this:

     studno faculty epin smoker
        1       1    6      2
        2       2   16      1
        3       2   18      2
        4       2   24      1
        5       3   15      2
        6       2   21      2
        .       .   .       .

        .       .   .      .


"studno" ist the number of the observed probant (factor), "faculty" is the subject area (1=sciene, 2=philosophy, ..) (factor), "epin" is the degree of psychological stability (integer), "smoker" means 1= yes, 2= no (factor). The question I want to answer is if smoking and the faculty are related with the probants psychological stability.




So what I want to do is a two way independent (!) ANOVA.

Unfortunaly all the examples I found were about data with repeated measure and therefore for dependent variables.


I thought my ANOVA should  work like this:

ezANOVA(data=epindata, wid = studno, dv= epin, between= c(faculty,smoker))


It worked but I get this warning which I don't understand:

"Warnung: You have removed one or more Ss from the analysis. Refactoring "studno" for ANOVA. Warnung: Data is unbalanced (unequal N per group). Make sure you specified a well-considered value for the type argument to ezANOVA().
Coefficient covariances computed by hccm()"

So I do have some questions

1.)

I don't understand the warning . There is no missing value and so the groups are equaly long. And I don't get the "Refactoring" part or what " You have removed one or more Ss" means.

 2)
Did I get it right that as my variables are independent they both belong to "between" , between= c(faculty,smoker)?



I would be really nice if somebody could help me!

Thanks in advance!

Claudia
