gx.triples.fgx: ANOVA to Estimate if ‘Triples’ are a Valid Subset

Description

Function to execute a simple ANOVA to determine if the Field Duplicates are a valid subset of the regional coverage samples, and if the Field Duplicates pairs have ‘equivalent’ variability. Optionally the data may be logarithmically (base 10) transformed.

Usage

gx.triples.fgx(x, RepStat, xname = deparse(substitute(x)),
	log = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a file of regional coverage and field duplicate data.

RepStat

the Replicate Status code, see below.

xname

by default the character string for the data file name, x, is used for the table title. An alternate title can be displayed with xname = "text string", see Examples.

log

if a logarithmic transformation of the data is required to meet homogeneity of variance considerations (i.e. severe heteroscedasticity) set log = TRUE. This is also advisable if the range of the observations exceeds 1.5 orders of magnitude.
