fattyacid {multcomp}

Fatty Acid Content of Bacillus simplex.

Description

Fatty acid content of different putative ecotypes of Bacillus simplex.

Usage

data("fattyacid")

Format

A data frame with 93 observations on the following 2 variables.

PE

a factor with levels PE3, PE4, PE5, PE6, PE7, PE9 indicating the putative ecotype (PE).

FA

a numeric vector indicating the content of fatty acid (FA).

Details

The data give the fatty acid content for different putative ecotypes of Bacillus simplex. Variances of the values of fatty acid are heterogeneous among the putative ecotypes.

Examples

    ### heteroscedasticity by using a heteroscedastic consistent 
    ### covariance estimation

    summary(amod_glht)

    ### simultaneous confidence intervals for the differences of
