spTukey: Compute Tukey Honest Significant Differences for a Spatially...

In lrcastro/spANOVA: Spatial Analysis of Field Trials Experiments using Geostatistics and Spatial Autoregressive Model

Description

Perform multiple comparisons of means treatments based on the Studentized range statistic when the errors are spatially correlated.

Usage

spTukey(x, sig.level = 0.05)

## S3 method for class 'SARanova'
spTukey(x, sig.level = 0.05)

## S3 method for class 'GEOanova'
spTukey(x, sig.level = 0.05)

Arguments

x	A fitted model object of class SARcrd, SARrcbd or GEOanova.
sig.level	A numeric value between zero and one giving the significance level to use.

Details

For objects of class SARcrd or SARrcbd this function performs the standard Tukey's ‘Honest Significant Difference’ method provided by the function TukeyHSD on the adjusted response.

For objects of class GEOanova, the method is modified to take into account the spatial dependence among the observations. First, we estimate a contrast matrix (C) using cont.tuk function and then after estimate the spatial mean of each treatment (μ_i) we can assess the significance of the contrast by

|c_i μ_i| > {HSD}_i

where HSD_i = q(α, k, ν) * sqrt(0.5*{w}_ii) and k is the number of treatments, α is the level of significance, ν is the degree of freedom of the model, {w}_ii is the variance of the i-th contrast.

Value

a data frame containing the original mean, the spatially filtered mean and its group. For the class GEOanova, the spatial dependence is filtered out using geostatistics, while for the class SARanova the adjusted response based on SAR model is employed.

Examples

data("crd_simulated")

#Geodata object
geodados <- as.geodata(crd_simulated, coords.col = 1:2, data.col = 3,
                      covar.col = 4)
h_max <- summary(geodados)[[3]][[2]]
dist <- 0.6*h_max

# Computing the variogram
variograma <- spVariog(geodata = geodados,
                      trend = "cte", max.dist = dist, design = "crd",
                      scale = FALSE)

plot(variograma, ylab = "Semivariance", xlab = "Distance")

# Gaussian Model
ols <- spVariofit(variograma, cov.model = "gaussian", weights = "equal",
                 max.dist = dist)

lines(ols, col = 1)

# Compute the model and get the analysis of variance table
mod <- aovGeo(ols, cutoff = 0.6)

# Tukey's HSD
spTukey(mod)
