Hi folks,

I am trying to figure out how run a repeated measures ANOVA on the following data set.

    subject trial frequency dplvl
1  FSI052A     A         1    NA
2  FSI052B     B         1    NA
3  FSI053A     A         1    NA
..


Both "frequency" and "trial" are factorized.

 > is.factor(trial)
[1] TRUE
 > is.factor(frequency)
[1] TRUE
 > levels(frequency)
[1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "6"

I know that I should be using 'lme' rather than aov, but....

> summary(aov(dplvl~trial*frequency+Error(subject/ (trial*frequency)),data=tenB))

What I do not understand is why I am getting df=1 for frequency when there are 5 levels of that factor.

Is tenB$frequency also a factor? The prototypical error would be to have modified only a copy of it.

By the way, with that amount of NA in the response, you are not going to undertand aov output in any case...

(and what happened with the subject:trial stratum???)
