Simulated data set with split plot design

Description

Simulated lexical decision latencies with priming as treatment and reaction time in lexical decision as dependent variable.

Usage

data(splitplot)

Format

A data frame with 800 observations on the following 11 variables.

items

A factor with levels w1, w2, ..., w40, coding 40 word items.

ritems

The by-word random adjustments to the intercept.

list

A factor with levels listA and listB. The priming effect is counterbalanced for subjects across these two lists, compare table(splitplot$list, splitplot$subjects).

rlist

The by-list random adjustments to the intercept.

priming

A treatment factor with levels primed and unprimed.

fpriming

The priming effect, -30 for the primed and 0 for the unprimed condition.

subjects

A factor with levels s1, s2, ... s20 coding 20 subjects.

rsubject

The by-subject random adjustments to the intercept.

error

The by-observation noise.

int

The intercept.

RT

The reaction time.
