anova-methods: Methods for function 'anova' in package 'lmerTest'

In alku86/lmerTest: Tests in Linear Mixed Effects Models

Description

Methods for Function anova in Package lmerTest

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'merModLmerTest'
anova(object, ... , ddf="Satterthwaite", 
type=3)

Arguments

object	object of class "merModLmerTest"
...	object of class "merModLmerTest". Then the model comparison statistisc will be calculated
ddf	By default the Satterthwaite's approximation to degrees of freedom is calculated. If ddf="Kenward-Roger", then the Kenward-Roger's approximation is calculated using KRmodcomp function from pbkrtest package. If ddf="lme4" then the anova table that comes from lme4 package is returned.
type	type of hypothesis to be tested. Could be type=3 or type=2 or type = 1 (The definition comes from SAS theory)

Examples

#import lmerTest package
library(lmerTest)

m.ham <- lmer(Informed.liking ~ Product*Information*Gender 
+ (1|Consumer), data = ham)

# type 3 anova table with  denominator degrees of freedom
# calculated based on Satterthwaite's approximation
anova(m.ham)

# type 1 anova table with denominator degrees of freedom
# calculated based on Satterthwaite's approximation
## Not run: 
anova(m.ham, type = 1)

## End(Not run)

# type3 anova table with additional F statistics and denominator degrees of freedom
# calculated based on Kenward-Roger's approximation
if(require(pbkrtest))
anova(m.ham, ddf = "Kenward-Roger")

## Not run: 
# anova table, that is returned by lme4 package
anova(m.ham, ddf = "lme4")

## End(Not run)
