The data frame sorption (DAAG) includes columns ct (concentration–time sum), Cultivar (apple cultivar), Dose (injected dose of methyl bromide), and rep (replicate number, within Cultivar and year). Fit a model that allows the slope of the regression of ct on Dose to be different for different cultivars and years, and to vary randomly with replicate. Consider the two models:
Explain (i) the role of each of the terms in these models, and (ii) how the two models differ. Which model seems preferable? Write a brief commentary on the output from the preferred model. [NB: The factor gp, which has a different level for each different combination of Cultivar, year and replicate, associates a different random effect with each such combination.]
