Tamhane-Dunnett Many-to-One Comparison Test


Description

Performs Tamhane-Dunnett's multiple comparisons test with one control. For many-to-one comparisons in an one-factorial layout with normally distributed residuals and unequal variances Tamhane-Dunnett's test can be used. Let X_{0j} denote a continuous random variable with the j-the realization of the control group (1 ≤ j ≤ n_0) and X_{ij} the j-the realization in the i-th treatment group (1 ≤ i ≤ k). Furthermore, the total sample size is N = n_0 + ∑_{i=1}^k n_i. A total of m = k hypotheses can be tested: The null hypothesis is H_{i}: μ_i = μ_0 is tested against the alternative A_{i}: μ_i \ne μ_0 (two-tailed). Tamhane-Dunnett's test statistics are given by

The null hypothesis is rejected if |t_{i}| > T_{kv_{i}ρ_{ij}α} (two-tailed), with

The p-values are computed from the multivariate-t distribution as implemented in the function pmvt distribution.

Usage

tamhaneDunnettTest(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
tamhaneDunnettTest(x, g, alternative = c("two.sided", "greater", "less"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
tamhaneDunnettTest(
  formula,
  data,
  subset,
  na.action,
  alternative = c("two.sided", "greater", "less"),
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'aov'
tamhaneDunnettTest(x, alternative = c("two.sided", "greater", "less"), ...)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of data values, a list of numeric data vectors or a fitted model object, usually an aov fit.

...

further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

g

a vector or factor object giving the group for the corresponding elements of "x". Ignored with a warning if "x" is a list.

alternative

the alternative hypothesis. Defaults to "two.sided".

formula

a formula of the form response ~ group where response gives the data values and group a vector or factor of the corresponding groups.

data

an optional matrix or data frame (or similar: see model.frame) containing the variables in the formula formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula).

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action").

Value

A list with class "PMCMR" containing the following components:

method

a character string indicating what type of test was performed.

data.name

a character string giving the name(s) of the data.

statistic

lower-triangle matrix of the estimated quantiles of the pairwise test statistics.

p.value

lower-triangle matrix of the p-values for the pairwise tests.

alternative

a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.

p.adjust.method

a character string describing the method for p-value adjustment.

model

a data frame of the input data.

dist

a string that denotes the test distribution.
