Colleagues,
The last time I thought about using lmer to run an unbalanced repeated measures ANOVA, I found that the package did not return p values or SEs. I believe this was because Professor Bates had important questions about the theory behind the required computations and was in the process of developing a new, improved algorithm. Has this situation changed? Has Prof. Bates, or anyone else, implemented a repeated measures ANOVA package for R that can be perform unbalanced repeated measures ANOVA and which produces valid p values and SEs? If so, what is the name of the package?
Thank you,
John

Dear John,

The Anova() function in the car package will perform a traditional
unbalanced repeated-measures ANOVA (or MANOVA). See the R Journal article at
<http://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-1/fox-friendly-weisberg.pdf>.

I hope this helps,
 John

Hi,

The new lme4 package has a bootMer function, so it is fairly easy to
compute bootstrap statistics.
The following packages could be what you are looking for:
1) lmerTest (see ?lmerTest:::lmer)
2) car (see Anova)
3) afex (see mixed)
4) LMERConvenienceFunctions (see pamer.fnc)

HTH,
  Denes

Well ...

1. Try the latest version of lmer/lme4 and see for yourself. I think
the answer is still no.

2. If 1 is true, then I think you need to ask whether you **want** to
use a package that returns p values and se's, whether it exists or
not.

Cheers,
Bert
