pairwisePermutationTest: Pairwise two-sample permutation tests

Description

Conducts pairwise two-sample permutation tests across groups.

Usage

pairwisePermutationTest(formula = NULL, data = NULL, x = NULL,
  g = NULL, method = "fdr", ...)

Arguments

formula

A formula indicating the measurement variable and the grouping variable. e.g. y ~ group.

data

The data frame to use.

x

The response variable as a vector.

g

The grouping variable as a vector.

method

The p-value adjustment method to use for multiple tests. See stats::p.adjust.

...

Additional arguments passed to coin::independence_test.

Value

A dataframe of the groups being compared, the p-values, and the adjusted p-values.

Details

The input should include either formula and data; or x, and g.

Permutation tests are non-parametric tests that do not assume normally-distributed errors. See http://rcompanion.org/rcompanion/d_06a.html for futher discussion of this test.

The pairwisePermutationTest function can be used as a post-hoc method following an omnibus permutation test analogous to a one-way analysis of variance.
