HSD.test {agricolae}

Multiple comparisons: Tukey

Description

It makes multiple comparisons of treatments by means of Tukey. The level by alpha default is 0.05.

Usage

HSD.test(y, trt, DFerror, MSerror, alpha = 0.05, group=TRUE, main = NULL, 
unbalanced=FALSE,console=FALSE)

Arguments

y

model(aov or lm) or answer of the experimental unit

trt

Constant( only y=model) or vector treatment applied to each experimental unit

DFerror

Degree free

MSerror

Mean Square Error

alpha

Significant level

group

TRUE or FALSE

main

Title

unbalanced

TRUE or FALSE. not equal replication

console

logical, print output

Details

It is necessary first makes a analysis of variance.

if y = model, then to apply the instruction:
HSD.test (model, "trt", alpha = 0.05, group = TRUE, main = NULL, unbalanced=FALSE, console=FALSE)
where the model class is aov or lm.

Value

statistics

Statistics of the model

parameters

Design parameters

means

Statistical summary of the study variable

comparison

Comparison between treatments

groups

Formation of treatment groups
