Hi Everyone,

I have only used 3dANOVA2/3 for my studies but I have a new study that is very unbalanced due to the fact that data is binned by subjects' interpretations of the stimuli. My design is a 4 (story type) x 2 (judgment: morally wrong vs not wrong) x 2 (confidence: high vs low). That is, subjects judge four different types of stories for whether they are morally wrong and then rate the confidence of their moral judgment.

I'd also like to model subjects as a random factor, making it a 4x2x2x34. It is unbalanced because some story types are judged as wrong much more frequently than other types. (e.g., disgusting stories tend to be rated as morally wrong, high confidence but harm stories are more evenly spread)

Any advice on which package to start with? Should I use GroupAna? 3LME?

I'm interested in these comparisons, primarily:
Main effects of: Judgment, Confidence, and Story-type
Judgment x Story-type
Judgment x Confidence

Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks!
