Hello Mark, in addition and complementing the already provided answers to your question. You want to consider the J-test, too. For an outline and the pitfalls of this test, see: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/24954/http:zSzzSzwww.econ.qu eensu.cazSzfacultyzSzdavidsonzSzbj4-noam.pdf/b

I may be miles off base, but could this be treated as a random-effects model, with the regression predictors as random effects grouped by week? And if so, could each set form a single lme() model, allowing you to compare the models via AIC's for 'quality' and anova for significance of the differ

Is the data paired? i.e. do you have an A and a B from week 1, then the same for each following week? If so, then you could probably do a simple sign test, within each week see if rsquared B > rsquared A. under the null hypothesis that A and B are equivalent this should be a binomial with paramet
