cld.emmGrid: Compact letter displays

Description

A method for multicomp::cld() is provided for users desiring to produce compact-letter displays (CLDs). This method uses the Piepho (2004) algorithm (as implemented in the multcompView package) to generate a compact letter display of all pairwise comparisons of estimated marginal means. The function obtains (possibly adjusted) P values for all pairwise comparisons of means, using the contrast function with method = "pairwise". When a P value exceeds alpha, then the two means have at least one letter in common.

Usage

# S3 method for emmGrid
cld(object, details = FALSE, sort = TRUE, by,
  alpha = 0.05, Letters = c("1234567890", LETTERS, letters),
  reversed = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for emm_list cld(object, ..., which = 1)

Arguments

object

An object of class emmGrid

details

Logical value determining whether detailed information on tests of pairwise comparisons is displayed

sort

Logical value determining whether the EMMs are sorted before the comparisons are produced. When TRUE, the results are displayed according to reversed.

by

Character value giving the name or names of variables by which separate families of comparisons are tested. If NULL, all means are compared. If missing, the object's by.vars setting, if any, is used.

alpha

Numeric value giving the significance level for the comparisons

Letters

Character vector of letters to use in the display. Any strings of length greater than 1 are expanded into individual characters

reversed

Logical value (passed to multcompView::multcompLetters.) If TRUE, the order of use of the letters is reversed. In addition, if both sort and reversed are TRUE, the sort order of results is reversed.

...

Arguments passed to contrast (for example, an adjust method)

which

Which element of the emm_list object to process (If length exceeds one, only the first one is used)
