Conducts a pairwise multiple comparison test (using the C procedure) for mean differences with unequal sample sizes and no assumption of equal population variances.
1 | DTK.test(x = "data vector", f = "factor vector", a = "alpha level")
|
x |
Numeric data vector. |
f |
Factored level vector. |
a |
Alpha, significance level. DEFAULT=0.05 |
Input data as vectors.
[[1]] |
"a" or the alpha significance level |
[[2]] |
Matrix containing the pair-waise comparisons as row names and the pairwise mean differences and lower and upper confidence interval values in columns, respectively |
In the case of equal sample sizes and equal population variances, Dunnett's test (C procedure) produces slightly wider (i.e. more conservative) confidence intervals than the Tukey-Kramer procedure. This is because of differences in the degrees of freedom used for determining the Studentized Range values. In cases where variances are unequal, however, the Tukey-Kramer test, which uses the pooled variance, will spread variance across levels and produce misleading results.
