Hi,
thanks. I am indeed interested in the main effects of A and B and their
interaction+ I want to incorporate C (the block or 'repetition' within which
the A and B treatments were applied) as a random variable. So A*B would be
the way, however errors of A and B are different due to different
experimental plot sizes. When doing Anova the correct code should be this:
summary(aov(ln_response) ~ A*B + Error(rep/A), data=Exp2)
in which case the effect of A is calculated by using error A*rep
and the effect of B and A*B is calculated using pooled error of B*rep and
A*B*rep
This I dont know how to specify in glmer. Maybe 'nesting' is not a right
term to use (?)

Hi, can anyone tell me how to nest two fixed factors using glmer in
lme4? I have a split-plot design with two fixed factors - A (whole
plot factor) and B (subplot factor), both with two levels. I want to
do GLMM as I also want to include different plots as a random
factor. But I am interested on the effect of A a B and their
interaction on the response variable. I tried
this:glmer(response~A*B+(A/B)+(1|C),data=Exp2,family=poisson but it
gives the same output as if I removed (A/B) all together or used
(A:B) instead thus the output is the same as:
glmer(response~A*B+(1|C),data=Exp2,family=poisson anyone can help
with how I define this nesting, so that data are analysed correctly
given my split-plot design? thanks, Martina
In general mixed model questions should go to
r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org , but this is actually *not*
specifically a mixed model problem. If A and B are fixed factors,
you're typically interested in A*B, which translates to 1+A+B+A:B,
i.e. intercept; main effects of A and of B; and the interaction.
The nesting syntax A/B translates to 1 + A + A:B, i.e. no main
effect of B. Nesting would typically make more sense in a random-effects
context where the meaning of B=1 in unit A=1 is different from
B=1 in unit A=2, i.e. where you don't want or it doesn't make
sense to estimate a main effect of B across levels of A.
