LSD.test: Multiple comparisons, "Least significant

difference" and Adjust P-values

Description

Multiple comparisons of treatments by means of LSD and a grouping of treatments. The level by alpha default is 0.05.
Returns p-values adjusted using one of several methods

Usage

LSD.test(y, trt, DFerror, MSerror, alpha = 0.05, p.adj=c("none","holm","hommel",

"hochberg", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr"), group=TRUE, main = NULL,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
Degrees of freedom of the experimental error

MSerror
Means square error of the experimental

alpha
Level of risk for the test

p.adj
Method for adjusting p values (see p.adjust)

group
TRUE or FALSE

main
title of the study

console
logical, print output

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

Details

For equal or different repetition.

For the adjustment methods, see the function p.adjusted.
p-adj ="none" is t-student.

It is necessary first makes a analysis of variance.

if model=y, then to apply the instruction: LSD.test(model, "trt", alpha
= 0.05, p.adj=c("none","holm","hommel", "hochberg", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr"), group=TRUE, main =
NULL,console=FALSE)
where the model class is aov or lm.
