Hello,
imagine the following experimental design: Group - Value control - 5 control - 6 control - 5 treated1 - 8 treated1 - 9 treated1 - 9 treated2 - 15 treated2 - 16 treated2 - 15 treated3 - 25 treated3 - 30 treated3 - 28 What I like to know is if I apply an ANOVA to this data and choose the control group as the reference group (using the relevel function) what groups exactly are compared? Are only all treated groups 1, 2, 3 tested against the control group or are all possible combinations tested? What is compared? A) Testing: control vs treated1; control vs treated2; control vs treated3; or B) Testing: control vs treated1; control vs treated2; control vs treated3; treated1 vs treated2; treated1 vs treated3; treated2 vs treated3; Cheers -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/quick-ANOVA-question-tp4118724p4118724.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
