Hi, and thanks for the advices. I actually tried using 'lme', but haven't figured out the appropriate syntax to get the random error correct with repeated measures. let's say i have 3 independent variables, with 'aov', i would write something like: aov(dep_var~(indep_var1*indep_var2*indep_var3) + Error(subject/(indep_var1*indep_var2*indep_var3)).
With 'lme' however, i can't find the right formula. i tried things like: lme(dep_var~(indep_var1*indep_var2*indep_var3), random = ~1|subject) or nesting my independent variables in 'subject', but those are obviously wrong with my design. i'm quite clueless (and i haven't found any convincing piece of information about how to correctly use 'lme' or 'lmer'). So, any advice along that line is more than welcome.
