Dear Users

I have just compared the exact same analysis of a data set using version
14
and 15 (see below) - the computing time using version 14 was 7,33 s and
with version 15 it was 3 min 27,75 s - AND the analysis using version 15
could not compute the degrees of freedom - thus the ANOVA was not
calculated using version 15 (could this be the reason for the long
computation time ?)

Could anyone help me explain what is going on here ?

Regards
