Dear R-users,
I am currently trying to switch from SAS to R, and am not very familiar with R
yet, so forgive me if this question is irrelevant.
If I try to find the significance of the fixed factor "spikes" in a generalized
linear mixed model, with "site" nested within "zone" as a random factor, I
compare following two models with the anova function:
model1<-lmer(aphids~spikes+(1|zone:site), method="ML", family=quasipoisson)
model2<-lmer(aphids~(1|zone:site), method="ML", family=quasipoisson)
anova(model1,model2)
This gives me a p< 2.2e-16 ***, concluding that "spikes" has a highly
significant effect on "aphids". However, when I look at the summary of model1:
summary(model1)
I find a t-value for "spikes" of -0.1166 which is really insignificant...
When I try model1 in SAS with proc glimmix, corrected for overdispersion with
"random _residual_", it also gives a p-value for "spikes" of 0,985. So if
"spikes" is not having a significant effect on "aphids", then why the above
mentionned p-value generated by anova in R?
Can anyone explain this?
Please find the dataset in the attachment.
Many thanks beforehand,
Martijn.
