Hi Helmut,

Many thans for your suggestions. I think you are right, otherwise it's confusing. I got the message ;-)

❝ Only a general remark about data structures in R. I suggest to code categorial (classification) variables as characters instead of numeric (Treatment, Sequence). It not only helps others to understand what you have meant without requiring an explanation (1=TRTR, 2=RTRT and 1=T, 0=R) but also models (e.g., lm(), lme(), lmer()) will automatically treat them as factors. Avoid Formula and use Treatment or Formulation instead. Personally I prefer Treatment over Formulation for generality...

It is a well-known experience that the only truly enjoyable and
profitable way of studying mathematics is the method of
“filling in details” by one’s own efforts.    Cornelius Lanczos
