Hello John and other R mailing list members. I've been following your discussions regarding the Anova command for the SS type 2/3 repeated measures Anova, and I have a question:
I found that when I go from using type II to using type III, the summary model is suddenly added with an "intercept" term (example in the end of the e-mail). So my question is 1) why is this "intercept" term added (in SS type "III" vs the type "II")? 2) Can/should this "intercept" term be removed ? (or how should it be interpreted ?) My purpose is to be able to use the Anova for analyzing an experiment with a 2 between and 3 within factors, where the between factors are not balanced, and the within factors are (that is why I can't use the aov command). #---code start #---code start #---code start # (taken from the ?Anova help file) phase <- factor(rep(c("pretest", "posttest", "followup"), c(5, 5, 5)), levels=c("pretest", "posttest", "followup")) hour <- ordered(rep(1:5, 3)) idata <- data.frame(phase, hour) idata mod.ok <- lm(cbind(pre.1, pre.2, pre.3, pre.4, pre.5, post.1, post.2, post.3, post.4, post.5, fup.1, fup.2, fup.3, fup.4, fup.5) ~ treatment*gender, data=OBrienKaiser) # now we have two options # option one is to use type II: (av.ok <- Anova(mod.ok, idata=idata, idesign=~phase*hour, type = "II")) #output: Type II Repeated Measures MANOVA Tests: Pillai test statistic Df test stat approx F num Df den Df Pr(>F) treatment 2 0.4809 4.6323 2 10 0.0376868 * gender 1 0.2036 2.5558 1 10 0.1409735 treatment:gender 2 0.3635 2.8555 2 10 0.1044692 phase 1 0.8505 25.6053 2 9 0.0001930 *** treatment:phase 2 0.6852 2.6056 4 20 0.0667354 . gender:phase 1 0.0431 0.2029 2 9 0.8199968 treatment:gender:phase 2 0.3106 0.9193 4 20 0.4721498 hour 1 0.9347 25.0401 4 7 0.0003043 *** treatment:hour 2 0.3014 0.3549 8 16 0.9295212 gender:hour 1 0.2927 0.7243 4 7 0.6023742 treatment:gender:hour 2 0.5702 0.7976 8 16 0.6131884 phase:hour 1 0.5496 0.4576 8 3 0.8324517 treatment:phase:hour 2 0.6637 0.2483 16 8 0.9914415 gender:phase:hour 1 0.6950 0.8547 8 3 0.6202076 treatment:gender:phase:hour 2 0.7928 0.3283 16 8 0.9723693 --- Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 # option two is to use type III, and then get an added intercept term: (av.ok <- Anova(mod.ok, idata=idata, idesign=~phase*hour, type = "III")) # here is the output: Type III Repeated Measures MANOVA Tests: Pillai test statistic Df test stat approx F num Df den Df Pr(>F) (Intercept) 1 0.967 296.389 1 10 9.241e-09 *** treatment 2 0.441 3.940 2 10 0.0547069 . gender 1 0.268 3.659 1 10 0.0848003 . treatment:gender 2 0.364 2.855 2 10 0.1044692 phase 1 0.814 19.645 2 9 0.0005208 *** treatment:phase 2 0.696 2.670 4 20 0.0621085 . gender:phase 1 0.066 0.319 2 9 0.7349696 treatment:gender:phase 2 0.311 0.919 4 20 0.4721498 hour 1 0.933 24.315 4 7 0.0003345 *** treatment:hour 2 0.316 0.376 8 16 0.9183275 gender:hour 1 0.339 0.898 4 7 0.5129764 treatment:gender:hour 2 0.570 0.798 8 16 0.6131884 phase:hour 1 0.560 0.478 8 3 0.8202673 treatment:phase:hour 2 0.662 0.248 16 8 0.9915531 gender:phase:hour 1 0.712 0.925 8 3 0.5894907 treatment:gender:phase:hour 2 0.793 0.328 16 8 0.9723693 --- Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 #---code end #---code end #---code end Thanks in advance for your help!
