of Squares is a Sequential Sum of Squares giving the significance of the
added variable, given the variables added before it, whereas the Type III
Sum of Squares gives the significance of the variable given ALL other
variables in the model. Should be careful when looking at Type III
p-values of t-tests. Eliminating variables based on t-test may not be
the correct thing to do.
Good luck!
