Hello Sir I have got 150 observations, got 10 posts/ 6 departments/ tasks vary from 5 to 10,
A few of the variables are crossed specially in case of Office boy, where the tasks are like open the door, put on the lights, Yes time variable I have used Chron package, so that it works well My aim for this study is to check the "amount of time and its variability for groups of tasks" Its my project work so need to work this out myself if it doesnt work then I will have to consult a statistician Thanks for guiding me to put up the question in more clearer way, I will sure take care next time Regards Our Thoughts have the Power to Change our Destiny.
