Stat > ANOVA > Fully Nested ANOVA

Use to perform fully nested (hierarchical) analysis of variance and to estimate variance components for each response variable. All factors are implicitly assumed to be random. Minitab uses sequential (Type I) sums of squares for all calculations.

You can analyze up to 50 response variables with up to 9 factors at one time.

If your design is not hierarchically nested or if you have fixed factors, use either Balanced ANOVA or GLM. Use GLM if you want to use adjusted sums of squares for a fully nested model.

Note

If your fully nested design is not balanced, then Minitab will not calculate the F and P-values.
