Summarize an Analysis of Variance Model

Description

Summarize an analysis of variance model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'aov'
summary(object, intercept = FALSE, split,
        expand.split = TRUE, keep.zero.df = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'aovlist'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "aov" or "aovlist".

intercept

logical: should intercept terms be included?

split

an optional named list, with names corresponding to terms in the model. Each component is itself a list with integer components giving contrasts whose contributions are to be summed.

expand.split

logical: should the split apply also to interactions involving the factor?

keep.zero.df

logical: should terms with no degrees of freedom be included?

...

Arguments to be passed to or from other methods, for summary.aovlist including those for summary.aov.

Value

An object of class c("summary.aov", "listof") or "summary.aovlist" respectively.

For a fits with a single stratum the result will be a list of ANOVA tables, one for each response (even if there is only one response): the tables are of class "anova" inheriting from class "data.frame". They have columns "Df", "Sum Sq", "Mean Sq", as well as "F value" and "Pr(>F)" if there are non-zero residual degrees of freedom. There is a row for each term in the model, plus one for "Residuals" if there are any.

For multistratum fits the return value is a list of such summaries, one for each stratum.

Note

The use of expand.split = TRUE is little tested: it is always possible to set it to FALSE and specify exactly all the splits required.
