Re: [R] Mean Squares

[Spencer Graves]

The term "anova" has evolved to include roughly any table with something 
like a partition of sums of squares even in non-normal situations, e.g., 
when using "glm" for logistic regression, where the "deviance" = 
(-2)*log(likelihood) is partitioned.

Hope this helps.

AFAIK, lme doesn't calculate sum of squares (or mean squares).  It
maximises the likelihood (or restricted likelihood) and uses tests
based on likelihood ratios.
Yes - you are correct.

although the function is called anova.lme, is it still correct to talk
about "anova results" when referring to the results of these tests? and
in the case of the Wald tests in the single lme object case?
(sorry if this is a dumb question...)

Pedro.
