Dear list members, I am getting an error while performing a repeated measures MANOVA using the Anova function of the "car" package. I want to apply it on the results of an experiment involving 19 participants, who were subjected to 36 stimuli, each stimulus was repeated twice for a total of 72 trials per subject. Participants had to adjust two parameters of sounds, Centroid and Sound_Level_Peak, for each stimulus. This is the head of my dataset (dependent variables: Centroid and Sound_Level_Peak; independent variables: Mat (6 levels) and Sh (2 levels)).
> head(scrd) Subject Mat Sh Centroid Sound_Level_Peak 1 Subject1 C DS 1960.2 -20.963 2 Subject1 C SN 5317.2 -42.741 3 Subject1 G DS 11256.0 -16.480 4 Subject1 G SN 9560.3 -19.682 5 Subject1 M DS 4414.1 -33.723 6 Subject1 M SN 4946.1 -23.648 Based on my understanding of the online material I found, this is the procedure I used: idata <- data.frame(scrd$Subject) mod.ok <- lm(cbind(Centroid,Sound_Level_Peak) ~ Mat*Sh,data=scrd) av.ok <- Anova(mod.ok, idata=idata, idesign=~scrd$Subject) I get the following error Error in check.imatrix(X.design) : Terms in the intra-subject model matrix are not orthogonal. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong in my formulas? Thanks in advance Best regards Angelo [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
