I am hoping for some assistance with a problem that has puzzled me. Immediately below is the error messages I obtained when I tried to perform two functions.
(A) tapply(outcome,na.rm=T,grp,mean) Error in tapply(outcome, na.rm = T, grp, mean) : arguments must have same length +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (B) library(nlme) > anova(lme(outcome ~ grp * time, random = ~ 1 | subject)) Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : variable lengths differ I assumed this was due to a missing value, as all the variables appeared to have the same number of values . However, when I ran the length command this wasn't the case: length(outcome) [1] 368 > length(grp) [1] 184 > length(subject) [1] 92 > length(time) [1] 184 Below is the syntax I have been using and the date frame that I generated - study1dat <- read.csv("c:\\study1rb.csv",header=T) attach (study1dat) outcome <- c(t1freq, t2freq,t3freq,t4freq) grp <- factor( rep(group, 2) ) time <- gl(4, 46) subject <- gl(46,1,92) data.frame(subject, grp, time, outcome) subject grp time outcome 1 1 0 1 4 2 2 0 1 3 3 3 0 1 7 4 4 0 1 0 5 5 0 1 1 6 6 0 1 7 7 7 0 1 7 8 8 0 1 7 9 9 0 1 7 10 10 0 1 5 11 11 0 1 3 12 12
