pairwiseOrdinalTest: Pairwise two-sample ordinal regression

Description

Performs pairwise two-sample ordinal regression across groups.

Usage

pairwiseOrdinalTest(formula = NULL, data = NULL, x = NULL, g = NULL,
  method = "fdr", ...)

Arguments

formula

A formula indicating the measurement variable and the grouping variable. e.g. y ~ group.

data

The data frame to use.

x

The response variable as a vector.

g

The grouping variable as a vector.

method

The p-value adjustment method to use for multiple tests. See p.adjust.

...

Additional arguments passed to clm.

Value

A dataframe of the groups being compared, the p-values, and the adjusted p-values.

Details

The input should include either formula and data; or x, and g.

Ordinal regression is analogous to general linear regression or generalized linear regression for cases where the dependent variable is an ordinal variable. The ordinal package provides a flexible and powerful implementation of ordinal regression.

The pairwiseOrdinalTest function can be used as a post-hoc method following an omnibus ordinal regession whose form is analogous to a one-way analysis of variance.

The x variable must be an ordered factor.
