Dear Helmut and Elmaestro,

As I read from Faraway JJ's textbook (Extending the Linear Model with R: Generalized Linear, Mixed Effects and Nonparametric Regression Models. Julian J. Faraway, Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2006 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC., ISBN 1-58488-424-X., pp. 170-4), it said (p.171) '...The estimates (ANOVA estimator from glm()) can take negative values... This is rather embarrassing since variances cannot be negative. Various fixes have been proposed, but these all take away from the original simplicity of the estimation method...' there are some discussions about this in the text, including using the linear mixed effect model (lme or lmer). Will lme/lmer be the answer for this if we are using a wrong model when doing a 2x2x2 BE study for this situation only?

[edited] The problem of negative variance components seems commonly seen with ANOVA. When googling the website, we can find a lots about this information from user forums of some other big stat apps, such as SAS, SPSS and MINITAB. Here is one of them from MINITAB.


❝ [...] I’m not sure whether I shall invest in a book I likely will not understand anyway.


All the best,

The difference between a surrogate and a true endpoint
is like the difference between a cheque and cash.
You can get the cheque earlier but then,
of course, it might bounce.    Stephen Senn
