Subject: st: syntax for nested two-factor ANOVA
I have been puzzling through the examples on nested ANOVAs given in
the manual, but I think my model is somewhat different from those. I
could use help setting up the proper command syntax.
My data structure is this:
My DV is "testresult" (continuous)
IVs are all categorical: "brand" is nested within "company", but the
IV of main interest is "keep" (1 or 0, for sold or discarded).
So I want to see whether the "keep rate" is affected significantly
and primarily by testresult, after controlling for the brand and the
company making that brand.
I would expect there should be error terms for testresult*brand and/
or testresult*company.
Related question: would this employ a sequential sum of squares
rather than a partial sum of squares, entering in the "confounds"
first and then IV of key interest last?
Below is my confused attempt at a command and the result, which only
yields a single F value, that being for the whole model, and no F
values for the factors.
anova testresult brand company keep brand*keep company*keep / brand|
company, sequential
Number of obs = 89 R-squared
= 0.3971
Root MSE = .204223 Adj R-squared
= 0.2081

Thanks in advance for help with the proper syntax for what I'm trying
to do.

I don't think you provide enough information to get the exact anova
model you want. Since you said nested two factor ANOVA, do you have
data like this?
brand company sold(keep) replicates
1 1 1 3
1 1 0 9
2 1 1 etc.
2 1 0
3 1 1
3 1 0
4 2 1
4 2 0
5 2 1
5 2 0
6 2 1
6 2 0
Forgetting if "keep" might be better modeled as a DV, then brand is
nested in company and brand|company is crossed with keep.
Are you interested in particular brands, or companies, or just trying
to control for random (nested) data? If in fact you want to treat
both brand and company as random effects you might look at:
II. A, B, C, and D at:

with attention to D.
