在 R 中使用 multcomp 事后测试嵌套方差分析

Question

my data is nested on a group level. There are five different treatments. Within every treatment, four participants are grouped. It is about donation behavior of those participants (dependent variable = Donation, metric, in €) under competition ( Explanatory variable = Treatment, ordinal). The data structure is like this:

Treatment   Session   player.cumulative_donation:
CG             uk4rlbdo         2.5
CG             uk4rlbdo         1.4 
CG             uk4rlbdo         0
CG             uk4rlbdo         1
CG             dg0bqvit         0
CG             dg0bqvit         0
CG             dg0bqvit         0.5
CG             dg0bqvit         0
TG1            g6n3z46r         1
TG1            g6n3z46r         0
TG1            g6n3z46r         0
TG1            g6n3z46r         0.2

After computing the ANOVA based on Rcompanion , I want to perform a Posthoc test using the multcomp function.

however, if I run

library(multcomp)

posthoc = glht(model,
               linfct = mcp(Treatment="Tukey"))

I get this error message which I don't understand

Error in model.frame.lme(object) : object does not contain any data
Error in factor_contrasts(model) : 
  no ‘model.matrix’ method for ‘model’ found!

There is data stored in model:

        (Intercept) Residual

Number of Observations: 88
Number of Groups: 27

The variables are:

$ player.cumulative_donation: num  2.5 1.4 0 1 0 0 0.5 0 1 0 ...
$ player.treatmentgroup     : chr  "CG" "CG" "CG" "CG" ...
$ Session code              : chr  "uk4rlbdo" "uk4rlbdo" "uk4rlbdo" "uk4rlbdo" ...

EDIT: The R command to create model:

library(nlme)

model = lme(Donation ~ Treatment, random=~1|Session,
            method="REML")

anova.lme(model,
          type="sequential",
          adjustSigma = FALSE)

10L), class = "data.frame")

Answer 1

The regression works if the data is a variable in the environment, but for downstream analysis, they required it to be stored as a data.frame inside the lme object:

For example, this works perfectly

library(nlme)
library(multcomp)

SPSS_Data.df = data.frame(
"player.treatmentgroup"=sample(c("TG1","TG2","TG3"),100,replace=TRUE),
"player.cumulative_donation"=rnorm(100),
"Session code" = sample(c("uk4rlbdo","dg0bqvit"),100,replace=TRUE),
check.names=FALSE)

df = setNames(SPSS_Data.df[,c("player.cumulative_donation",
"player.treatmentgroup","Session code")],
              c("Donation","Treatment","Session")
              )

model = lme(Donation ~ Treatment, random=~1|Session,data=df)
glht(model,linfct=mcp(Treatment="Tukey"))

Whereas when you put the variable into the environment, i get the same error:

Donation = df$Donation
Treatment = df$Treatment
Session =df$Session
model = lme(Donation ~ Treatment, random=~1|Session)
glht(model,linfct=mcp(Treatment="Tukey"))

Error in model.frame.lme(object) : object does not contain any data
Error in factor_contrasts(model) : 
  no ‘model.matrix’ method for ‘model’ found!
