Hello.
This is an output of GLM from SPSS 9.0 where the dependent variable

was analysed by crossing 2 levels of the FIXED factor SEX with 2
levels of the RANDOM factor
Does anyone know whether the Newey West (1987) makes any difference in
theory when estimating the standard error for the mean of a series
exhibiting time-dependent heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation?
Many thanks in advance,

Yes, the calendar is really quite a complex things, owing in large part

I agreed with Paul completely about this point. Cortina published a paper
about this issue in Journal of Applied Psychology in 1993.

Hi,
A student of mine is getting ready to develop a GLM prediction model that will
include a mixture of categorical and quantitative predictor variables. We will
probably not include interaction terms in the model (i.e., it will be a main effects
only model).
I do not think it is a mistake because there are several ways of
defining the assumptions of a two-way mixed ANOVA model. For details you
can consult Kleinbaum, Kupper, Muller and Nizam (1998). Applied regression
analysis and other multivariable Methods. (p. 542, footnote 8). They used

Furthermore, if you stick to doing sensible tests, the tests are independent of
the coding. For example, interaction tests are invariant to coding and so are
global tests of combined main effect + interaction (e.g., H0: age is not a risk factor

1) Students should develop arithmetic reliability.

I am not sure this is what you mean by "convert", but the tau IS a

No, nobody can, except when they both happen map into a phi (2x2
