Hi, I have some basic questions about lme(), I have run following: >Mod1<-lme >summary (Mod1) >anova (Mod1)
1. What is the differece between the summary result and the anova result? 2. Is it sufficient to only report the anova result in an article? 3. How is the most proper way to describe the use of this statistics in the method chapter in a scientific article? 4. Is my suggestion below ok? And here is how I have described it in the method section: "The lme function of the nlme package for R was used to fit linear mixed-effects (LME) models, using restricted maximum likelihood (REML). Model selection were computed by using the Akaike Information Criteria (AIC). The overall test of the model was conducted with ANOVA."
