I am trying to do post-hoc tests associated with a repeated measures analysis with on factor nested within respondents.
The factor (SOI) has 17 levels. The overall testing is working fine, but I can't seem to get the multiple comparisons to work. The first step is to "stack" the data. Then I used "lme" to specify and test the overall model. Finally I'm trying to use "glht" to do multiple comparisons. Here's my code and the resulting output. > ImpSoi<-ImpData[,c("iobs", soi)] > ImpSoi[1:5,] iobs soi1 soi2 soi3 soi4 soi5 soi6 soi7 soi8 soi9 soi10 soi11 soi12 soi13 soi14 soi15 soi16 1 32 7.00 7.00 7.00 7.00 7.00 6.00 7.0 7.00 5.00 7.00 7.00 7.00 7.00 5.00 7.00 6.00 2 70 5.95 4.95 7.00 4.95 5.20 5.40 4.2 3.95 4.15 4.95 4.85 4.95 6.75 5.95 5.20 5.10 3 78 3.00 1.00 4.75 2.75 3.00 4.50 4.0 4.00 1.50 4.00 4.00 4.50 2.50 3.00 3.75 4.00 4 104 3.75 3.50 6.25 5.25 4.25 3.75 4.0 5.25 4.75 4.75 5.00 5.75 6.00 4.00 4.75 3.75 5 117 5.00 5.00 4.00 5.00 2.00 4.62 5.0 4.00 4.00 4.00 5.00 4.00 4.70 4.70 5.00 2.00 soi17 1 7.00 2 5.15 3 4.00 4 5.50 5 4.00 > stack <- reshape(ImpSoi,varying=soi,timevar="solution",idvar="iobs",sep="", dir="long") > solution <- factor(solution,levels(1:17),) > stack[1:5,] iobs solution soi 32.1 32 1 7.00 70.1 70 1 5.95 78.1 78 1 3.00 104.1 104 1 3.75 117.1 117 1 5.00 > Lmes.mod <- lme(soi ~ solution + iobs, random = ~1 | iobs/solution, data = stack) > anova(Lmes.mod) numDF denDF F-value p-value (Intercept) 1 2383 2894.8342 <.0001 solution 1 2383 0.0003 0.9870 iobs 1 147 0.0126 0.9109 > summary(glht(Lmes.mod, linfct=mcp(solution="Tukey"))) Error in mcp2matrix(model, linfct = linfct) : Variable(s) 'solution' of class 'numeric' is/are not contained as a factor in 'model'. > I don't understand the error since "solution" is clearly a factor in the model. Any suggestions would be welcome.
