I can actually run the code from my post. I used the nabble for my list server http://www.nabble.com/ANCOVA-with-defined-error-terms-td25055311.html#a25100032 I don't know which server you use, but that one is not truncated, I can copy the code just fine and run it. Anyway, here it is again
summary(mymodel<-(aov(mice~veget*fruit*time+(time*block)+ (time*block*veget)+(time*block*fruit)+coon+Error(block/plot, data = track)))) I have a question. After I use your suggestion of using sapply(track, function(x) length(levels(x)) I get a completely wrong structure for the DF. I get just 1 DF for time, instead of 13. And I cannot run your model ricsmodel<-aov(mice ~ coon + block*veget*fruit*time - block:veget:fruit:time + Error(block/plot), data = track)) Any insights are helpful. Thank you for your patience.
