re: st: margins after split-plot anova

.

One source for adding a covariate to a split plot design is Chapter 11 in Variations on Split Plot and Split Block Experimental Designs (Wiley 2007).

> The output of margins in 1), 2), AND 3) are equal. The output of 4) is (correctly) different from 1) and 2), because 4) includes a continuous covariate that is not present in 1) and 2).
