MCPtests (version 1.0.1)

MCPbarplot: Plotting the result of the multiple comparison procedures

Description

MCPbarplot creates a bar plot with vertical or horizontal bars to compare the mean treatments by the tests: means grouping based on midrange test, means grouping based on range test, Student-Newman-Keuls and Tukey based on midrange tests, Scott-Knott's test

Usage

MCPbarplot(
  x,
  MCP = "all",
  col = grDevices::heat.colors(10),
  horiz = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

An object of the MCPtest function

MCP

Allows choosing the multiple comparison test. The defaut is "all". This option will perform all tests available in the MCPtest object.

col

A specification for the plotting color. The defaut is heat.colors(10).

horiz

a logical value. If FALSE, the bars are drawn vertically with the first bar to the left. If TRUE, the bars are drawn horizontally with the first at the bottom.

...

Parameters of the barplot function

Value

MCPbarplot return the bar plot of the tests chosen ("MGM", "MGR", "SNKM", "TM", "SK") to evaluate the treatment means.

Details

The MCP argument allows choosing several tests of multiple comparisons from the MCPtest object. For plots in papers, use col = gray.colors(10). For details, see colors function.
