REML - Means Plots
See Also
This menu plots one- or two-way tables of means following a mixed model analysis. For a one-way table the factor for the x-axis should be supplied, and for a two-way table the grouping factor should be supplied as well as the X factor. If the X factor and grouping factor are left blank the first two-way table of means in the analysis is plotted (i.e. for the first two-way interaction in the treatment factors), or the first one-way table if there are no two-way tables.

Method

This controls how the means are to be displayed.
Meansrepresents each mean by a point
Linesalso plots lines between the means
Dataplots the observed data values with lines between the fixed terms
Bar chartplots the fixed term means as a bar chart

Standard error bar

The plot includes a bar to indicate the variability of the means. This option can be used to control which standard error is used for the bar.
Differencesaverage standard error of difference
Meansaverage effective standard error for the means. By default, as single bar is produced for the graph. However, you can specify to plus and minus the effective standard error around every mean by selecting the Plot around every mean option.

Factor for X Axis

Specifies the factor to be plotted on the X axis. Corresponding y values are the means at each level of the X factor.

Groups

If there are two or more treatment factors you can specify a second factor to use for additional classification on the plot. The means are calculated for each combination of X Factor and Groups, and a different colour is used when plotting means, lines and data for the different groups, according to the choice of Method.

Available Data

This lists factors that can be used for the X axis or Groups. Double-click on a factor name to copy it to the current input field; alternatively, you can type the name directly into the input field.
