I have three columns of data, Xc, Trt and fish. This was a repeated
measures design with 6 measurements taken from each of 5 fish. Xc is the
actual measurement, Trt is the treatment, and fish is the fish number. Data
can be seen below (hopefully it is in the column format). I would like to
look for differences between treatments in a repeated measures format. I
used the following code
library(nlme)
summary(lme(Xc~trt,data=R.exp,random=~1|fish))
This seems to work and I would like to know if
1) this is the right function for my question, if so, then
2) in the summary, value is the first column, but what value is this. I
have searched in vain and cannot find the answer. Any help or links to
examples would be appreciated greatly.
