runMultiGen(Data, TreatVar = "", ResponVar = "", 
RepVar = "Not Used", TimeVar = "Not Used", 
Path, TestDirection = "Descending",alpha=0.05)

`Data`	A data set.
`TreatVar`	Name (as a string) of the treatment variable.
`ResponVar`	Name (as a string) of the response variable.
`RepVar`	Name (as a string) of the replicate variable.
`TimeVar`	Name (as a string) of the time variable.
`Path`	Path indicates the type of mixed effects analysis performed. Use Path = 2 for Time (Repeated Measures) and Path = 3 Group - Replicate (Mixed Effects).
`TestDirection`	Indicates the test direction. This can be c('Both', 'Descending', 'Ascending').
`alpha`	Alpha level used in calculating confidence intervals.

This is mostly a wrapper function for nlme from the nlme package and glht from the multcomp package.

Returns a list with the following items:

`Anova.Table`	An ANOVA table see `Anova`.
`MainEffects`	A table of main effect, see `oneWayDunnettTest` for more details.
`FreqTable`	A table of frequencies of occurrences for every sub group in the data set.
`Lmm`	A nlme class data structure from `<nlme>` from the nlme package.
`ShapiroTest`	The results from a Shapiro-Wilks test. See `wilksTest` for more information.
