With respect to calculating the epsilon index of sphericity for ANOVA, discussed on pp. 45-47 of:
http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych.pdf It notes that epsilon is not required for a repeated measures design with only k=2 levels, as the minimum value of epsilon (e) is given by: e = 1/(k-1) so for k=2, we have e = 1 (ie, no correction of the F test df; see p. 46). These notes apply to a univariate F test. How do we estimate the minimum value of epsilon for a 2 factor ANOVA? I have an experiment where we measure brain activity from the left and right hemisphere, for two experimental conditions, in each subject. I consider the measures from each hemisphere a repeated measures factor (2 levels) and the experimental conditions is also a repeated measure (2 levels). The question now is, how do we calculate epsilon for this 2 factor study and is it possible that epsilon could be anything < 1 when each factor has only 2 levels?
