[R] SNK-test

[Jim Rogers]

Please note Student-Newman-Keuls is NOT a recommended multiple comparison procedure.

In the language of Hsu (1996), Student-Newman-Keuls is not even a "confident inequalities" method. In other words, it does not control the probability of making at least one incorrect assertion of inequality (which is the least you should expect of any multiple comparisons procedure). 

Tukey's HSD does protect the desired error rate, and gives you confidence intervals as well (not just assertions of inequality).
