oneway: oneway

Description

The oneway function wraps a number of analysis of variance functions into one convenient interface that is similar to the oneway anova command in SPSS.

Usage

oneway(y, x, posthoc=NULL, means=FALSE,  fullDescribe=FALSE, levene=FALSE, plot=FALSE, digits=2, omegasq = TRUE, etasq = TRUE, corrections = FALSE, pvalueDigits=3, t=FALSE, conf.level=.95, silent=FALSE)

Arguments

y

y has to be a numeric vector.

x

x has to be vector that either is a factor or can be converted into one.

posthoc

Which post-hoc tests to conduct. Valid values are any correction methods in p.adjust.methods (at the time of writing of this document, "holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr", "none"), as well as "tukey" and "games-howell".

means

Whether to show the means for the y variable in each of the groups determined by the x variable.

fullDescribe

If TRUE, not only the means are shown, but all statistics acquired through the 'describe' function in the 'psych' package are shown.

levene

Whether to show Levene's test for equality of variances.

plot

Whether to show a plot of the means of the y variable in each of the groups determined by the x variable.

digits

The number of digits to show in the output.

omegasq

Whether to show the omega squared effect size.

etasq

Whether to show the eta squared effect size (this is biased and generally advised against; omega squared is less biased).

corrections

Whether to show the corrections for unequal variances (Welch and Brown-Forsythe).

pvalueDigits

The number of digits to show for p-values; smaller p-values will be shown as

t

Whether to transpose the dataframes with the means (if requested) and the anova results. This can be useful for blind people.

conf.level

Confidence level to use when computing the confidence interval for eta^2. Note that the function we use doubles the 'unconfidence' level to maintain consistency with the NHST value (see http://yatani.jp/HCIstats/ANOVA#RCodeOneWay, http://daniellakens.blogspot.nl/2014/06/calculating-confidence-intervals-for.html or Steiger, J.

silent

Whether to show warnings and other diagnostic information or remain silent.

Examples

### Do a oneway Anova
oneway(y=ChickWeight$weight, x=ChickWeight$Diet);

### Also order means and transpose the results
oneway(y=ChickWeight$weight, x=ChickWeight$Diet, means=TRUE, t=TRUE);
