Quade Test
Description
Performs a Quade test with unreplicated blocked data.
Usage
quade.test(y, groups, blocks)
Arguments
y |
either a numeric vector of data values, or a data matrix. |
groups |
a vector giving the group for the corresponding elements
of |
blocks |
a vector giving the block for the corresponding elements
of |
Details
quade.test can be used for analyzing unreplicated complete
block designs (i.e., there is exactly one observation in y
for each combination of levels of groups and blocks)
where the normality assumption may be violated.
The null hypothesis is that apart from an effect of blocks,
the location parameter of y is the same in each of the
groups.
If y is a matrix, groups and blocks are obtained
from the column and row indices, respectively. NA's are not
allowed in groups or blocks; if y contains
NA's, corresponding blocks are removed.
Value
A list with class "htest" containing the following components:
statistic |
the value of Quade's F statistic. |
parameters |
a vector with the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom of the approximate F distribution of the test statistic. |
p.value |
the p-value of the test. |
method |
the string |
data.name |
a character string giving the names of the data. |
