[R] Multiple comparison tests - Homogenous subsets (i.e. for Tukey)
Dear all, is there any possibility to generate a table of homogeneous subsets for multiple comparison tests as in SPSS with R? I am specially interested in Tukey's B test. I have tried to find the answer myself and found an excellent description here: http://www.ppsw.rug.nl/~sda/siv/Posthoc_print.pdf (-> Tab. 2) Together with the information here ... http://www.agr.kuleuven.ac.be/vakken/statisticsbyR/ANOVAbyRr/multiplecomp.htm (Differences between Brands are significant at 5% level if the confidence interval around the estimation of the difference does not contain zero.) .. I am already able to figure out the subsets "manually". But for larger groups the risk to make errors increases. I found a description of the SPSS algorithm (here: http://www1.uni-hamburg.de/RRZ/Software/SPSS/Algorith.115/app10_post_hoc_tests.pdf ) but as a dentist I cannot really figure out how to do it with R myself. Any help or hint is appreciated very much. Thanks a lot already in advance. Karl-Heinz -- Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Kunzelmann Dept.
