HSD: Tukey's Honest Significant Difference

In structToolbox: Data processing & analysis tools for Metabolomics and other omics

Description

Tukey's HSD post hoc test is a modified t-test applied for all features to all pairs of levels in a factor. It is used to determine which groups are different (if any). A multiple test corrected p-value is computed to indicate which groups are significantly different to the others for each feature.

Usage

HSD(alpha = 0.05, mtc = "fdr", formula, unbalanced = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

alpha	(numeric) The p-value cutoff for determining significance. The default is 0.05.
mtc	(character) Multiple test correction method. Allowed values are limited to the following: "bonferroni": Bonferroni correction in which the p-values are multiplied by the number of comparisons. "fdr": Benjamini and Hochberg False Discovery Rate correction. "none": No correction. The default is "fdr".
formula	(formula) A symbolic description of the model to be fitted.
unbalanced	(logical) Unbalanced model. Allowed values are limited to the following: "TRUE": A correction is applied for unbalanced designs. "FALSE": No correction is applied for unbalanced designs. The default is FALSE.
...	Additional slots and values passed to struct_class.
