Hello, I'm new to R and have been following many guides including the two-way anova (http://www.personality-project.org/r/r.anova.html). Using that walkthrough including the supplied data I do str(data.ex2) and receive the appropriate types of data as follows: > str(data.ex2) 'data.frame': 16 obs. of 4 variables: $ Observation: int 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... $ Gender : Factor w/ 2 levels "f","m": 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 ... $ Dosage : Factor w/ 2 levels "a","b": 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 ... $ Alertness : int 8 12 13 12 6 7 23 14 15 12 ...
aov.ex2 = aov(Alertness~Gender*Dosage,data=data.ex2) summary(aov.ex2) Outputs: Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) Gender 1 76.562 76.562 2.9518 0.1115 Dosage 1 5.062 5.062 0.1952 0.6665 Gender:Dosage 1 0.063 0.063 0.0024 0.9617 Residuals 12 311.250 25.938 However, when I got to use my data that I made in csv format I have to tell R to interpret my factors which are year and depth as factors... datafilename="C:/Rclass/hmwk1pt2.csv" data.ex2=read.csv(datafilename,header=T) data.ex2$Year<-as.factor(data.ex2$Year) data.ex2$Depth<-as.factor(data.ex2$Depth) data.ex2 str(data.ex2) This outputs what I would expect: > str(data.ex2) 'data.frame': 12 obs. of 4 variables: $ Year : Factor w/ 3 levels "1999","2000",..: 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 ... $ Depth : Factor w/ 4 levels "10","15","20",..: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 ... $ Replicate1: num 14.3 15.1 16.7 17.3 16.3 17.4 18.6 20.9 22.9 23.9 ... $ Replicate2: num 14.7 15.6 16.9 17.9 16.4 17.2 19.6 21.3 22.7 23.3 ... But something is not causing my anova to carry through...this is what I have. ANOVA = aov(Replicate1~Year*Depth,data=data.ex2) summary(ANOVA) which outputs: > summary(ANOVA) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq Year 2 143.607 71.803 Depth 3 17.323 5.774 Year:Depth 6 2.587 0.431 There is no F-value or Pr(>F) columns. I also can't boxplot this correctly, again following the example at that website above they have: boxplot(Alertness~Dosage*Gender,data=data.ex2) which outputs: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26258684/87o3uicpf6dt4kkdyvfv.jpeg My code is: boxplot(Replicate1~Year*Depth,data=data.ex2) which outputs: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26258684/gik02vyhvvbmcvw3ia2h.jpeg This is incorrect, it's multiplying my factors but I thought that when I did the str() on my data it recognized the Year and Depth as factors, not numbers or integers. My csv file is: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26258684/hmwk1pt2.csv hmwk1pt2.csv Any help on what is going one would be greatly appreciated because I need to perform one-way, two-way, nested, and factorial anovas but I first need to solve this problem before I can continue. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Simple-2-Way-Anova-issue-in-R-tp26258684p26258684.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
