Fellow morphers, I'm familiar with the need to account for the lower degrees of freedom, when testing for differences between groups, hence the use of Goodall's-F test. However, as with basic (M)ANOVA, that just tells you if there's at least one group that's statistically different but doesn't identify which one(s) when you have more than two categories. Are there multi-class (M)ANOVAs (e.g. Ryan-Einot-Gabrial-Welsch Q-test or Tukey's test) that are out there that will directly identify which categories are different when dealing with many categories (e.g. samples from seven geographical locations)? Maybe there's a way to load the data into an R-script and manually adjust the degrees of freedom for a regular multi-category (M)ANOVA? Thanks for the input!
