In agricolae: Statistical Procedures for Agricultural Research

Computations of Bayesian t-values for multiple comparisons

Description

A Bayes rule for the symmetric multiple comparisons problem.

Usage

waller(K, q, f, Fc)

Arguments

K	Is the loss ratio between type I and type II error
q	Numerator Degrees of freedom
f	Denominator Degrees of freedom
Fc	F ratio from an analysis of variance

Details

K-RATIO (K): value specifies the Type 1/Type 2 error seriousness ratio for the Waller-Duncan test. Reasonable values for KRATIO are 50, 100, and 500, which roughly correspond for the two-level case to ALPHA levels of 0.1, 0.05, and 0.01. By default, the procedure uses the default value of 100.

Value

Waller value for the Waller and Duncan test.
