2 Way ANOVA Error

Post by HTIDCam »

Hello,

I am having trouble performing a 2 way ANOVA in jamovi (9.0.3).

I am trying to perform a 2 way ANOVA to determine whether muscle mass differs between sex (2 levels) and across different ages (4-5 levels). However, the number of levels for age are unequal, with 5 levels for males (3 weeks 10 weeks, 30 weeks, 52 weeks, and 78 weeks) and 4 levels for females (3 weeks, 10 weeks, 52 weeks, 78 weeks). When I try and perform the ANOVA however, an error occurs which states:

"argument is of length zero"

The ANOVA does not compute and as such, no outcome variables are displayed,

I had a similar issue with JASP except in this instance is computed the ANOVA but displayed an error message. (Link for original thread http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/dis ... va-warning).

Any ideas or workarounds? I could just use SPSS but I prefer the Jamovi GUI. I could also exclude the age variable and then the sex variable for the post hoc analyses, but then I won't have an indication of the interaction.

I have attached the original data.

Thanks!

Any updates on this bug?
I am using version .9.5.6 and the issue still persists when I add more than 3 factors in an ANOVA

I don't believe an ANOVA is supposed to work in this situation, where there are missing cells in your 2-by-5 factorial design. If you get rid of the 30-week data, I think it would run fine.
