9.3.1Multiple comparisons
The ANOVA F test for treatment tells you that the five drug regimens aren’t equally effective, but it doesn’t tell you which treatments differ from one another. You can use a multiple comparison procedure to answer this question. For example, the TukeyHSD() function provides a test of all pairwise differences between group means, as shown next.

For example, the mean cholesterol reductions for 1time and 2times aren’t significantly different from each other (p = 0.138), whereas the difference between 1time and 4times is significantly different (p < .001).
The pairwise comparisons are plotted in figure 9.2. The first par statement rotates the axis labels, and the second one increases the left margin area so that the labels fit (par options are covered in chapter 3). In this graph, confidence intervals that include 0 indicate treatments that aren’t significantly different (p > 0.5).

The glht() function in the multcomp package provides a much more comprehensive set of methods for multiple mean comparisons that you can use for both linear models (such as those described in this chapter) and generalized linear models (covered in chapter 13). The following code reproduces the Tukey HSD test, along with a different graphical representation of the results (figure 9.3):
>library(multcomp)
>par(mar=c(5,4,6,2))
>tuk <- glht(fit, linfct=mcp(trt="Tukey"))
>plot(cld(tuk, level=.05),col="lightgrey")
In this code, the par statement increases the top margin to fit the letter array. The level option in the cld() function provides the significance level to use (0.05, or 95% confidence in this case).
Groups (represented by box plots) that have the same letter don’t have significantly different means. You can see that 1time and 2times aren’t significantly different (they both have the letter a) and that 2times and 4times aren’t significantly different (they both have the letter b); but that 1time and 4times are different (they don’t share a letter). Personally, I find figure 9.3 easier to read than figure 9.2. It also has the advantage of providing information on the distribution of scores within each group.
From these results, you can see that taking the cholesterol-lowering drug in 5 mg doses four times a day was better than taking a 20 mg dose once per day. The competitor drugD wasn’t superior to this four-times-per-day regimen. But competitor drugE was superior to both drugD and all three dosage strategies for the focus drug.

CHAPTER 9 Analysis of variance |
Multiple comparisons methodology is a complex and rapidly changing area of study. To learn more, see Bretz, Hothorn, and Westfall (2010).
9.3.2Assessing test assumptions
As you saw in the previous chapter, confidence in results depends on the degree to which your data satisfies the assumptions underlying the statistical tests. In a one-way ANOVA, the dependent variable is assumed to be normally distributed and have equal variance in each group. You can use a Q-Q plot to assess the normality assumption:
>library(car)
>qqPlot(lm(response ~ trt, data=cholesterol),
simulate=TRUE, main="Q-Q Plot", labels=FALSE)
Note the qqPlot() requires an lm() fit. The graph is provided in figure 9.4. The data falls within the 95% confidence envelope, suggesting that the normality assumption has been met fairly well.
R provides several tests for the equality (homogeneity) of variances. For example, you can perform Bartlett’s test with this code:
> bartlett.test(response ~ trt, data=cholesterol)
Bartlett test of homogeneity of variances
data: response by trt
Bartlett's K-squared = 0.5797, df = 4, p-value = 0.9653
