Hi HS,

ElMaestrosMixedModel <- lme(y1 ~ 0 + seq1 + per1 + trt1, random = ~1|sub1)

I am not sure why ElMaestro used a mixed model here; doesn't this specification just give the same as a linear model with seq1, per1, trt1, and sub1 as fixed factors :confused:?

I think we need to take degrees of freedom into consideration too. After all, the critical value of the t-dist (and thus the width of the CI which is the ultimate indicator) depends heavily on it. I think the df's differ between the two scenarios. I hope this does not lead into a discussion about how df's are calculated for a mixed model (R will not do Satterthwaite etc.), a discussion where I have absolutely nothing to contribute.


I am sorry to question my own sanity.

Pass or fail!
