Feb 23, 2015 at 7:54 comment added John Petrucci Thanks for the comment Stephan. I think you might have a point here. This will generate mountains of output and even a rudimentary reporting of the results will kill a forest or slow down the internet. I might end up doing this just to gain a better understanding and gain some insight into the basic problem and then generate some more targeted hypotheses from there.
Feb 23, 2015 at 7:29 comment added Stephan Kolassa Your problem likely won't be the analysis. You can generate binders full of statistical output. Your problem will be writing it all up, extracting the relevant factors and interpreting them. After spending a few months on this, you yourself will understand what's going on, but I don't think someone who reads your paper afterwards will have the faintest clue. It's painful enough to read a paper explaining and interpreting a three-way interaction. Don't make people slog through a five-way one.
