Re: error estimate as fraction of standard deviation

2001-09-25 Thread Graeme Byrne
This sounds like homework but I will . Anyway assume the normal approximation to the binomial can be used (is this reasonable?) then the formula for estimating sample sizes based on a given confidence level and a given maximum error is n = z*Sqrt(p*(1-p))/e where z = the z-scores associated wit

In short, you don't. If the number of terms in the model equals the number of observations you have much bigger problems than not being able to compute adjusted R^2. It should always be the case that the number of observations exceed the number of terms in the model otherwise you cannot calculate

I'm not sure if this will work for your experiment but have you tried respecifying the model in terms of a nested design. Using syntax you can type A(B) in the DESIGN subcommand which means A nested within B. The code example below would fit the model Y = Constant + A+ B(A) UNIANOVA Y BY A B
