Anova and mixed models : a short introduction using R

Table of Contents: 1. Learning from 2. Completely Randomized Designs 3. Contrasts and Multiple Testing 4. Factorial Treatment Structure 5. Complete Block Designs 6. Random and Mixed Effects Models. 7. Split-Plot Designs. 8. Incomplete Block Designs

The book provides both the practitioner and researcher a compact introduction to the analysis of data from the most popular experimental designs. The focus is on an intuitive understanding of the theory, common pitfalls in practice, and the application of the methods in R. The book does not only cover standard ANOVA models, but also models for more advanced designs and mixed models, which are common in many practical applications. It is accessible to readers with a basic background in probability and statistics. It covers fundamental concepts of experimental design and cause-effect relationships. It introduces classical ANOVA models, including contrasts and multiple testing. The book provides an example-based introduction to mixed models; features basic concepts of split-plot and incomplete block designs; R code available for all steps and supplementary website with additional resources and updates. This book is primarily aimed at students, researchers, and practitioners from all areas who wish to analyze corresponding data with R. Readers will learn a broad array of models hand-in-hand with R, including the application of some of the most important add-on packages.
