Hello,

I am trying to fit a repeated measures linear mixed model (using lme) but I don't want to include any random effects. I'm having trouble (even after consulting Pinheiro & Bates 2000) figuring out how to specify the repeated measure without including it in the specification of a random effect.

My data consist of repeated "counts" in "plots" that I wish to model as a function of "habitat". This attempt:

         model<-lme(count~habitat-1,data=dataframe,method="ML")

doesn't consider the repeated nature of my counts (i.e., that there are multiple rows in my dataframe for each plot). I know how to include"plot" as a random effect, but I don't wish to do that, and I can't see how to include it without doing so.

I'll appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks, Mark
