Description

I don't know if you have seen this paper: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2016/RJ-2016-027/RJ-2016-027.pdf

On page 376, it states:
"This indicates that the art function from ARTool uses the wrong Higgins and Tashtoush formula for aligning the data in mixed designs. It uses the formula for between x between designs, instead of using the formula for mixed (In Higgins’s terms: split-plot or repeated measures) designs."

I did not test this myself, but I was wondering whether you can confirm this as a potential issue? Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reading the cited 2016 R Journal paper, especially page 376, then inspect the art function's alignment logic for mixed designs. Reproduce a mixed-design case and compare its formula with the paper's Higgins and Tashtoush formula. Done means confirming whether the reported formula is wrong and documenting or correcting the behavior accordingly.
