The unsystematic variance for the repeated measures design

Now you can easily calculate the unsystematic variance for the repeated measures design, also called the error term.

Exercise instructions

  • Calculate the unsystematic sum of squares for the repeated measures design ss_rm. This is just the unsystematic sum of squares of the between-groups design reduced by the stable subjects sum of squares.
  • Calculate the error term (the mean squares) of the repeated measures design ms_rm. You first have to define the degrees of freedom df.
