Combined (pooled) analysis of a split-plot experiment repeated in several environments (years, seasons or locations). Environments are fixed and replications random within environments: the environment effect is tested against replications within environments, main-plot sources against the pooled Error(a) and sub-plot sources against the pooled Error(b). SEm, SEd and CD are given for every comparison.

Usage

anova_spd_pooled(
  data,
  response,
  main_plot,
  sub_plot,
  environment,
  replication,
  verbose = TRUE,
  posthoc = "lsd",
  alpha = 0.05
)

Arguments

data

Data frame containing the combined data.

response

Name of the response variable.

main_plot

Name of the main-plot factor.

sub_plot

Name of the sub-plot factor.

environment

Name of the environment column.

replication

Name of the replication column (nested within environment; labels may repeat across environments).

verbose

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

posthoc

Method for the letters (default "lsd").

alpha

Significance level. Default 0.05.

Value

An object of class aridagri_spd_pooled with anova_table, cv (by stratum), se_cd, factor_means (with letters), main_means, sub_means, env_means and model.
