Hello, is it possible to obtain type III sums of squares for a nested model as in the following:
lmod <- lm(resp ~ A * B + (C %in% A), mydata)) I have tried library(car) Anova(lmod, type="III") but this gives me an error (and I also understand from the documentation of Anova as well as from a previous request (http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/64477.html) that it is not possible to specify nested models with car's Anova). anova(lmod) works, of course. My data (given below) is balanced so I expect the results to be similar for both type I and type III sums of squares. But are they *exactly* the same? The editor of the journal which I'm sending my manuscript to requests what he calls "conventional" type III tests and I'm not sure if can convince him to accept my type I analysis.
