R: Pairwise post-hoc Test for Multiple Comparisons of Rank Sums...

posthoc.quade.test {PMCMR} | R Documentation

## Pairwise post-hoc Test for Multiple Comparisons of Rank Sums for Unreplicated Blocked Data (Quade multiple comparison test)

### Description

Calculate pairwise comparisons using Quade's post-hoc test for unreplicated blocked data. This test is usually conducted post-hoc after significant results of the omnibus test, `quade.test`.

### Usage

    posthoc.quade.test(y, ...)

    ## Default S3 method:
     posthoc.quade.test(y, groups, blocks, dist =
     c("TDist", "Normal"), p.adjust.method = p.adjust.methods, ...)

### Arguments

`y` | either a numeric vector of data values, or a data matrix.
`groups` | a vector giving the group for the corresponding elements of `y` if this is a vector; ignored if `y` is a matrix. If not a factor object, it is coerced to one.
`blocks` | a vector giving the block for the corresponding elements of `y` if this is a vector; ignored if `y` is a matrix. If not a factor object, it is coerced to one.
`dist` | the method for determining the p-value. The default distribution is `"TDist"`, else `"Normal"`.
`p.adjust.method` | Method for adjusting p values (see `p.adjust`).
`...` | further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

### Details

A one-way ANOVA with repeated measures that is also referred to as ANOVA with unreplicated block design can also be conducted via the `quade.test`. The consequent post-hoc pairwise multiple comparison test according to Quade is conducted with this function.

If y is a matrix, than the columns refer to the treatment and the rows indicate the block.

See `vignette("PMCMR")` for details.

### Value

A list with class "PMCMR"

`method` | The applied method.
`data.name` | The name of the data.
`p.value` | The two-sided p-value according to the selected distribution.
`statistic` | The estimated quantiles of the selected distribution.
`p.adjust.method` | The applied method for p-value adjustment.
