Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your reply. 0-3 should have been 0-2. The wave*wave term was not-random. It didn't have sufficient variance and stole variance from the linear term. The plot of the data shows that total rises from time=0 to time=1 and rises another small amount at time=2. So you see a quadratic shaped curve. Had wave*wave had variance I would have needed the terms you noted. When I first realized that emmeans required the 'by' word, I made all three variables 'by' variables. Doing so removes the linear assumption and estimates a value at each time point relative the reference for that variable. Perhaps I should have described the problem as a multilevel growth curve model. The log likelihood value for both versions is the same. I got into this problem because I have several significant interactions and I need to look at simple effects. Probably the test command would give me what I need but I've understood how to use it.

Hi Gene.  If I follow what you're doing, you're missing some terms.  If you treated all 3 of your variables as categorical (i.e., had them follow BY), and if you included all 2- and 3-way interactions, you would eat up 11 df (if I counted correctly).  So when you treat them as continuous (following WITH), and include polynomial terms where there are 2 or more categories, then you still need 11 df.  And I think you are missing a couple of terms.
I reckon you need all of the following terms in your model (with W standing for Wave):

IL
TX
W
W*W
IL*TX
IL*W
IL*W*W
TX*W
TX*W*W
IL*TX*W
IL*TX*W*W

You have only these 8 terms:

wave
wave*wave
tx  
wave*tx
il
wave*il
tx*il
wave*tx*il

The 3 you are missing are the ones that involve the quadratic component of the interactions with Wave:

IL*W*W
TX*W*W
IL*TX*W*W

By the way, you said Wave has 3 levels, but then said 0-3.  Did you mean 0-2?  I assumed you did.

HTH.
Bruce
