NemenyiTest | R Documentation |
Performs Nemenyi's test of multiple comparisons.
NemenyiTest(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
NemenyiTest(x, g, dist = c("tukey", "chisq"), out.list = TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'formula'
NemenyiTest(formula, data, subset, na.action, ...)
x |
a numeric vector of data values, or a list of numeric data vectors. |
g |
a vector or factor object giving the group for the
corresponding elements of |
dist |
the distribution used for the test. Can be |
out.list |
logical, defining if the output should be organized in listform. |
formula |
a formula of the form |
data |
an optional matrix or data frame (or similar: see
|
subset |
an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used. |
na.action |
a function which indicates what should happen when
the data contain |
... |
further arguments to be passed to or from methods. |
Nemenyi proposed a test based on rank sums and the application of the family-wise error method to control Type I error inflation, if multiple comparisons are done. The Tukey and Kramer approach uses mean rank sums and can be employed for equally as well as unequally sized samples without ties.
A list of class htest
, containing the following components:
statistic |
Nemenyi test |
p.value |
the p-value for the test |
null.value |
is the value of the median specified by the null hypothesis. This
equals the input argument |
alternative |
a character string describing the alternative hypothesis. |
method |
the type of test applied |
data.name |
a character string giving the names of the data. |
