Title: | Aligned Rank Transform for Nonparametric Factorial Analysis |
---|---|
Description: | An implementation of the Aligned Rank Transform technique for factorial analysis (see references below for details) including models with missing terms (unsaturated factorial models). The function first computes a separate aligned ranked response variable for each effect of the user-specified model, and then runs a classic ANOVA on each of the aligned ranked responses. For further details, see Higgins, J. J. and Tashtoush, S. (1994). An aligned rank transform test for interaction. Nonlinear World 1 (2), pp. 201-211.

Aligned Rank Transform for Nonparametric Factorial Analysis
aligned.rank.transform(formula, data, perform.aov = TRUE, SS.type = c("III", "II", "I"), ...)
aligned.rank.transform(formula, data, perform.aov = TRUE, SS.type = c("III", "II", "I"), ...)
formula |
A formula indicating the model to be fitted. |
data |
A data frame containing the input data. The name of the columns should match the names used in
the user-specified |
perform.aov |
Optional: whether separate ANOVAs should be run on the Ranked aligned responses or not.
In case it should not, only the ranked aligned responses will be returned. Defaults to |
SS.type |
A string indicating the type of sums of squares to be used in the ANOVA on the aligned responses.
Must be one of "I", "II", "III". If |
... |
Other arguments passed to lm when computing effect estimates via ordinary least squares for the alignment. |
The function computes a separate aligned response variable for each effect of an user-specified model, transform it into a ranking, and applies a separate ANOVA to every resulting ranked aligned response to check the significance of the corresponding effect.
A tagged list with the following elements:
$aligned
: a data frame with the input data and additional columns to the right, containing the aligned
and the ranked aligned responses for each model effect.
$significance
: (only when perform.aov = TRUE
) the ANOVA table that collects every unique meaningful row of
each of the separate ANOVA tables obtained from the ranked aligned responses.
