Hi All, I am doing linear mixed model analysis for my multi-location experiment using R package "lme4". I just wonder whether I should check my data first to see whether they meet the three assumptions of ANOVA, that is, independence, normality and homogeneity. I saw a lot of examples and the manual of lme4, but no one did data check first. In my experiment, the assumption of homogeneity usually cannot be met. I do not know whether it will affect the result a lot or not.
Thanks. Junli ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
