This is a simple question, but I'm going on the supposition that the only stupid question is the one not asked.

1. I have many sets of 5 proportions that are different from each other (prop.test), and want to know which proportions are different from each other. In other words, I want the equivalent of Tukey's HSD test, but for proportions rather than anova.

Here is one of the sets of number of "successes"; the denominator is 151 for all cases.
                    Parents School Peers Church No one
Menstruation             79     58    55      3     38

As proportions:
> round(topics.sum[1,], digits=3)
Parents  School   Peers  Church  No one
  0.523   0.384   0.364   0.020   0.252

Intuitively, it looks like there are 3 or 4 groups that are different from each other, but is there a function that does this?
parents > school and peers ?> no one > church

2. I am displaying this data in a bar graph. How do I show graphically which proportions are different? I'm not interested in using error bars since they can be ambiguous, but probably something like putting a different symbol over each bar to show which bars are the same and which differ. I've made efforts at this before, but they've always looked a bit clumsy.

Thanks,

Janet
