An Analysis of Variance Pitfall: The Fixed Effects Analysis in a Nested Design.

Zucker, David M.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v50 n4 p731-38 Win 1990

A major pitfall with fixed-effects analysis of variance in the nested design is illustrated. Under the null hypothesis of no intervention effect, the rejection rate for "F(sub fixed)" in the nested design is greater than the putative Type I error rate of the test, potentially to an extreme degree.
