pairwise.G.test: Pairwise comparisons for proportions using G-tests

In RVAideMemoire: Testing and Plotting Procedures for Biostatistics

Pairwise comparisons for proportions using G-tests

Description

Performs pairwise comparisons between pairs of proportions with correction for multiple testing.

Usage

pairwise.G.test(x, p.method = "fdr")

Arguments

x	matrix with 2 columns giving the counts of successes and failures, respectively.
p.method	method for p-values correction. See help of p.adjust.

Details

Since a G-test is an approximate test, an exact test is preferable when the number of individuals is small (200 is a reasonable minimum). See fisher.multcomp in that case.

Value

method	name of the test.
data.name	a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
p.adjust.method	method for p-values correction.
p.value	table of results.

Examples

x <- matrix(c(44,56,36,64,64,40),ncol=2,dimnames=list(c("Control","Treatment1","Treatment2"),
  c("Alive","Dead")),byrow=TRUE)
G.test(x)
pairwise.G.test(x)
