It has been suggested that when the variance assumptions of a repeated measures ANOVA
are not met, the df of the mean square ratio should be adjusted by the sample estimate of the
Box correction factor, ɛ. This procedure works well when ɛ is low, but the estimate is
seriously biased when this is not the case. An alternate estimate is proposed which is shown
by Monte Carlo methods to be less biased for moderately large ɛ.
