Summary
A robust analysis of two-way models with repeated measures on both factors is developed using a dispersion function. This robust analysis gives users a complete inference: Estimation, tests for the general linear hypotheses, and multiple comparison procedures. Asymptotic relative efficiencies of the rank tests with respect to the least-squares counterpart are discussed. Analyses of two real life examples from medical and pharmaceutical studies are presented.
