Hi Richard, there are no empty cells.
I transform everything into factor, except the co-variate coon.
Here is the full analysis with dput of the data.
I'm afraid I have not enough DF for the thre-way interaction using your
model as well. 12 plots divided in 3 blocks, each plot assigned to 2 crossed
treatments (veget and fruit two levels each), which means that my n=3. Plots
were sampled monthly for 14 months.
I also attached the raw data, which is proportions of plates with paw
prints, but I had to use Kotz transformation to improve normality.
Thank you very much
