The hard bit is often to knock data into the right format. Assuming that you have a data in a data frame "mydata" in long format like this ID product period score 1 A 1 2,3 1 B 2 3.4 .... 10 B 1 5.6 10 A 2 7.8 then this should do the trick: summary(aov(score~A*B+Error(ID),data=mydata)) Alternatively, you can do it with t-tests comparing differences within ID between the two product orderings. The test for main effect of product can be obtained as a test of whether "1st - 2nd" depends on whether A or B came first, and vice-versa for the main effect of period. The interaction test (carry-over, etc.) is obtained as a test of whether the _sum_ of the two scores is order-dependent. (Cynics may point out that it is usually no great loss just to do a paired t-test, since period effects are usually weak and interactions mostly undetectable in such designs.) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
