Hello everyone About 2 weaks ago I aksed you for help on nesting anova below but gotted no responding. i am hoping my english was ok and if yes did the people understanding my question because my engilish is lacking but i am tring hard.
There are 2 forest categories (factor: foresttype) which are plantation and natural forest. Each forest category has 2 sites nesting in. Each site (factor: site) has 3 liana species (factor: species) which is common to all sites. Lianas are located at edge and inside forest (factor: location) and response variable is number of fruits. So fixed factors is foresttype, species and location and nesting factors is site and liana individual (random). I am carrying out nested anova with minitab using following model. Foresttype Site(Foresttype) Species Individual(Site Species) Location Foresttype*Species Species*Site Foresttype*Location Location*Species Foresttype*Location*Species My question is: 1. Is model correct (is nesting correct) 2. Is base model one below? Are last 2 terms necessary to run model? Foresttype Site(Foresttype) Species Individual (Site Species) Location Foresttype* Species Species*Site 3. How to do post hoc tests to see if location (edge or interior effects fruit abundance) or species differ in result. I am also hearing of mixed models as better than nesting anovas for this type data. What is this and how to do? I am much needed of your knowlegable help Please write me Catherine Kaif ----------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free Email ID at www.zapakmail.com now!
