Dear list! I work with multiple Kruskal-Wallis test (kruskalmc, package pgirmess), which evaluates differences in medians among groups (5 groups). A result of a test is significant differences among some groups, while median values are the same for 4 groups (using tapply). Why? p.s.: number of samples in groups vary from 50 to 4900. Thanks to all, OV .

Hi there, I am doing multiple comparisons for data that is not normally distributed. For this purpose I tried both functions kruskal{agricolae} and kruskalmc{pgirmess}. It confuses me that these functions do not yield the same results although they are doing the same thing, don't they? Can anyone tell my why this happens and which function I can trust? kruskalmc() tells me that there are no differences between any of the groups (i.e. the "diff...

I am interested in using "multcompLetters" after running "kruskalmc" but I'm a newbie and I'm not having luck figuring it out. I can run "kruskalmc" just fine, but after studying the documentation for "multcompletters" for a long time, I cannot figure out how to make it work. Any ideas?

Hi, I would like to find out if the kruskalmc command in the pgirmess package controls for the family-wise type-I error rate.

Hi all, After running kruskal.test I have got results (p<0,005) pointing to reject the hypothesis that the samples were draw from the same population. Howerver when I run the kruskalmc there are no significant differences in any of the multiple comparisons. Is that possible? Some clarification?

Dear listers, I was used to package pgirmess under Windows with everything OK, but, for the first time, I had a trial this afternoon on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy (I have a double boot computer and work more and more under unix) and R 2.7.0. Everything went OK except this: sudo R CMD check pgirmess ..... * checking examples ... ERROR Running examples in 'pgirmess-Ex.R' failed. The error most

Dear all, I run a kruskal wallis test and found significant results. Then, I conducted all pairwise comparisons and found no significant results. Could anyone please give me a hint as to why this happens or redirect me towards a specific web page where I can find more info? (I used alpha=5% and made no bonferroni or other correction for the pairwise comparisons) Thank you   Dr. Iasonas

Hi there, I've got a small question : is there any post-hoc test for Kruskal rank sum test integrated in R ? I know that the Nemenyi test is one of the post-hoc that can be used, but there's no (to by knowledge) R function for it. What should I do ? Thanks, Etienne

Dear all, I did a Kruskall-Wallis test for a comparison of a variable of interest between 10 sites and I get a significant result (p=0.0019). however, when I perform a post-hoc test using kruskalmc from the pgirmess package, I get no difference between any of the paired comparisons. I cannot find anything in the internet, not in my stats books about how to explain this contradictory result. I have also seen that somebody else asked this question in this forum but she got no answers. Can an...

Hi, I use glht to make multcomp, using Tukey, from a glm model. It is possible to get a more simplified output of result? Somethink like ordering by letters.

Hi, I have searched and found a response to a question similar to mine but when I tried the code, R says it's not an actual function so I thought I'd ask here. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4633035/Cookies.csv Cookies.csv I have attached the data I am using. I am trying to look at two things: how moisture content changes over time, and how it changes along the length of a log

I have insect data from twelve sites and like most environmental data it is non-normal mostly. I would like to preform an anova and a means seperation like tukey's HSD in a nonparametric sense (on some sort of central tendency measure - median?). I am searching around at this time on the internet. Any suggestions, books, etc. would be greatly appreciated. -- Stephen Sefick Research

Hi, A client has a consumption measure on each of four products. The sample size is 75. The consumption distributions are highly skewed for each product. He would like a pairwise comparison test of the products, much like Tukey's HSD but using medians rather than means. Is there such a median comparison test in R?
