pvalue.ellipse {pda}R Documentation

Center and Radius for p-value Ellipses

Description

This is used by int.plot to construct ellipses for means at the level of the x factor that are not significantly different. Currently this does not handle mixed models properly.

Usage

pvalue.ellipse(plet, lsmeans, se, rdf,
   level=0.05, scale=0.3, full.width=TRUE, pset)

Arguments

plet character vector with letter codes for non-significant differences
lsmeans least squares means
se standard errors for means
rdf residual degrees of freedom
level significance level
scale scaling of ellipse around means
full.width keep ellipses as full width to show how close means are if TRUE
pset letters to use for means that are significantly different

Details

The ellipse will be the height of an LSD comparison interval if full.width is TRUE, or otherwise will be se*scale beyond the outer means of a comparison group.

Value

A 2*n matrix, where n is the number of distinct ellipses. The first row contains ellipse centers while the second row contains the radii.
