PDIFF: Pairwise Difference

In sasLM: 'SAS' Linear Model

Pairwise Difference

Description

Estimates pairwise differences by a common method.

Usage

  PDIFF(Formula, Data, Term, conf.level=0.95, adj="lsd", ref, PLOT=FALSE, 
        reverse=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

Formula	a conventional formula for a linear model
Data	a data.frame to be analyzed
Term	a factor name to be estimated
conf.level	confidence level of confidence interval
adj	"lsd", "tukey", "scheffe", "bon", "duncan", or "dunnett" to adjust p-value and confidence limit
ref	reference or control level for Dunnett test
PLOT	whether to plot or not the diffogram
reverse	reverse A - B to B - A
...	arguments to be passed to plot

Details

It corresponds to PDIFF option of SAS PROC GLM.

Value

Returns a table of expectations, t values and p-values. Output columns may vary according to the adjustment option.

Estimate	point estimate of the input linear contrast
Lower CL	lower confidence limit
Upper CL	upper confidence limit
Std. Error	standard error of the point estimate
t value	value for t distribution
Df	degree of freedom
Pr(>|t|)	probability of larger than absolute t value from t distribution with residual's degree of freedom
