[R] how to interpret the results of a simint call
Hi all, I've done some anovas, found some significance and proceeded to do the post hoc tests to determine the source of the significance. I used the multcmp package as suggested by Andy Liaw (thank you). I am, however, unsure how to interpret the results of the call to simint. Could someone help me with this? I've attached the code and the results it produced. There are 3 groups (ctrl,long,short) and I'm trying to see if the data in the Mean_12 column (in the example below) differs based on group membership. for (meanCol in meanColumns) { roi.err.aov-aov(eval(parse(text=meanCol)) ~ Group, data=roi.errs); HSD.err-simint(eval(parse(text=meanCol)) ~ Group, data=roi.errs, type=Tukey); cat(\n); cat(### Summary of AOV for , meanCol, cluster: , i, \n); print(summary(roi.err.aov)) print(summary(HSD.err)) i-i+1; } ### Summary of AOV for Mean_12 cluster: 12 Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(F) Group2 6368494 3184247 8.8536 0.001627 ** Residuals 21 7552730 359654 --- Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 Simultaneous 95% confidence intervals: Tukey contrasts Call: simint.formula(formula = eval(parse(text = meanCol)) ~ Group, data = roi.stops, type = Tukey) Tukey contrasts for factor Group Contrast matrix: Groupctrl Grouplong Groupshort Grouplong-Groupctrl 0-1 1 0 Groupshort-Groupctrl 0-1 0 1 Groupshort-Grouplong 0 0-1 1 Absolute Error Tolerance: 0.001 95 % quantile: 2.519 Coefficients: Estimate2.5 % 97.5 % t value Std.Err. p raw p Bonf Grouplong-Groupctrl -134.246 -930.286 661.794 -0.425 316.076 0.675 1.000 Groupshort-Groupctrl 978.056 182.016 1774.097 3.094 316.076 0.005 0.016 Groupshort-Grouplong 1112.303 400.303 1824.303 3.934 282.707 0.001 0.002 p adj Grouplong-Groupctrl 0.906 Groupshort-Groupctrl 0.015 Groupshort-Grouplong 0.002 Thanks in advance, Regards, Colm. __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
[R] recommendation for post-hoc tests after anova
Greetings all, I've done some ANOVAs and have found significant effects across my groups, so now I have to do some post-hoc tests to ascertain which of the groups is driving the significant effect. Usually one would do something like a Newman-Keuls or Scheffe test to get at this but based on googling and browsing through the r-help archives R doesn't support these and they seem to be badly received by the R community generally (for reasons related to alpha not being properly controlled, if I understand correctly). I found the TukeyHSD function but on reading the help page, I'm unsure whether it's safe for me to use it since the number of subjects in my groups is not balanced (ctrl=6, short=9, long=9). Would you reckon that this is mildly unbalanced in the spirit of the help page or that is my caution warranted? In the absence of NK or Scheefe tests could someone recommend an appropriate test for me to conduct in this instance? From what I've read in Explaining Psychological Statistics, the REGWQ test seems to be the way to go. Can R perform this test? Thanks for your time, Regards, -- Dr Colm G.

Re: [R] reference paper about SOM
On eof the best sources of info on the SOM is Kohonen's book.

[R] variables as arguments in formulae in aov?
Hi all, I wonder if you could help me with (what is surely) a simple R question? I've written a simple R script (attached) to perform multiple ANOVAs on the columns in a table loaded in from a a file (also attached). I loop through the list of columns for which I want to perform the ANOVAs, storing the column name in a variable. When I try to perform the ANOVA using the variable name as a reference to the column name R complains as follows: Error in the model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : invalid variable type The line causing the problem is the first line inside the for loop. The question is what have I done wrong? Is there a better way of doing the ANOVAs? Thanks in advance, Bye, Colm. roi.errs=read.table(../Group.results/allGroupsROI.errs, header=T, sep=\t); roi.stops=read.table(../Group.results/allGroupsROI.stops, header=T, sep=\t); # extract the names of the columns containing the means roi.names=names(roi.errs); meanColumns=roi.names[4:length(roi.names)]; ## open the output file, split=T also spits it to the screen sink(../Group.results/ROI.errs.txt,split=T) cat(\n); cat(*** Summary for ROI.errs\n); for (meanCol in meanColumns) { roi.err.aov-aov(meanCol ~ Group, data=roi.errs); cat(\n); cat(*** Summary of AOV for , meanCol, \n); summary(roi.err.aov); } ## close the output file sink(); ## open the output file, split=T also spits it to the screen sink(../Group.results/ROI.stops.txt,split=T) cat(\n); cat(*** Summary for ROI.stops\n); for (meanCol in meanColumns) { roi.stops.aov-aov(meanCol ~ Group, data=roi.stops); cat(\n); cat(*** Summary of AOV for , meanCol, \n); summary(roi.stops.aov); } ## close the output file sink(); __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
