title: Non-parametric counterpart of Nested Anova with unbalanced designed
body: <p>Is there a non-parametric counterpart of Nested ANOVA with unbalanced designed? My data is not normal even after doing different transformations. Thus i could not use parametric test. I came across Friedman tests but i understand that it requires a complete and balanced design.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to determine is the effect of A (e.g. gear type) in B (e.g. catch) where A is nested in factor C (e.g. study site).</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to R and I am not an expert in Stat either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.</p>
