ANCOVA

2 messages · Samuel Okoye, Greg Snow

ANCOVA usually is used when you have a numerical covariate that you want to adjust for, your description does not include any, so a regular anova (aov function) can be used.  If you do have 1 or more covariates to adjust for, then it can be thought of as a regression problem (ANCOVA is a special case of linear models/regression) and you can fit it using either the aov or lm function.
