Analysis of variance for a Latin square design with row and column blocking, SEm, SEd, CD, CV, the efficiency of the Latin square relative to a CRD and to an RCBD, and post-hoc letter groupings.

Usage

anova_latin(
  data,
  response,
  treatment,
  row,
  column,
  posthoc = "lsd",
  alpha = 0.05,
  verbose = TRUE,
  control = NULL
)

Arguments

data

Data frame containing the data.

response

Name of the response variable.

treatment

Name of the treatment column.

row

Name of the row column.

column

Name of the column column.

posthoc

Post-hoc method(s); see perform_posthoc.

alpha

Significance level. Default 0.05.

verbose

Logical. If TRUE (default), prints the report.

control

Control level for Dunnett's test.

Value

An object of class aridagri_anova with the components of anova_crd and relative_efficiency (a named vector, percent).

Details

Relative efficiencies (Cochran and Cox, 1957; Gomez and Gomez, 1984) use the row (\(E_r\)), column (\(E_c\)) and error (\(E_e\)) mean squares: versus a CRD, \([E_r + E_c + (t-1)E_e] / [(t+1)E_e]\); versus an RCBD with rows as blocks, \([E_c + (t-1)E_e] / (t E_e)\); versus an RCBD with columns as blocks, \([E_r + (t-1)E_e] / (t E_e)\), each multiplied by the precision adjustment factor when the error degrees of freedom are below 20.
