friedmanmc: Multiple comparisons after Friedman test

Description

Test of multiple comparison after Friedman test

Usage

friedmanmc(y, groups, blocks,alpha=0.05)

Value

A list of class 'mc' with the following items:

statistic

statistics used

alpha

the significance level

dif.com

a data.frame with observed and critical differences, statistical significance at the alpha risk (true/false) and p-value

Arguments

y

a numeric vector of data values, or a data matrix

groups

a vector giving the group for the corresponding elements of 'y' if this is a vector; ignored if 'y' is a matrix. If not a factor object, it is coerced to one.

blocks

a vector giving the block for the corresponding elements of 'y' if this is a vector; ignored if 'y' is a matrix. If not a factor object, it is coerced to one.

alpha

the significiance level

Details

Method for formula still not implemented. Formula 7.5a (Siegel & Castellan, 1988 p 180-181) can lead to p-values larger than 1 when differences between groups are small. Eventually, they are set to NA and a warning is generated.
