Unfortunately Minitab does not currently perform multiple comparisons for a random factor or a term that includes a random factor.

For a lot of you who are using GLM instead of the balanced command because you wanted to get the standard error term easily, note that you can get the standard error term easily only if it's a fixed effects model. There's actually a history to this. When they wrote GLM originally, they didn't allow random effects. What this meant in practice is that if you had random effects, you had to use the balanced command and if you had covariates, you had to use the GLM command, so you couldn't have a model like this example that had both random effects and covariates in it. Minitab just wouldn't analyze them. So, Minitab tacked a program on that analyzed mixed models, but they never finished it. This means that a lot of the output that we're used to
expecting in the fixed effect models we just can't get in the mixed models.
However, as long as the random effect is messed up with the fixed effect, it just won't complete the analysis. For instance, it won't do Tukey in this case. We've seen it in general in GLM where it will do Tukey, but in many mixed models it just won't. In my mind, Minitab should be able to do these things, but it won't.

Hi members:
I want to perform a Tukey test for factor A in this design Nested Anova but Minitab show this warning. What I can to do?
* WARNING * No multiple comparisons were calculated for the following terms which contain or interact with random factors.
