[R] (m)simtest ?

[Bianca Vieru-Dimulescu]

Hi,.

We have 2 values (first formant F1, second formant F2) for a given 
phoneme for six languages. We want to see whether the languages are 
significantly different one from another for this given phoneme.

We have done a manova on our data and it works well, but we doesn't 
allow us to see which pair of  languages are different.

If we have only one formant for the phoneme, we would use simtest to see 
the pairs significantly different... but the simtest doesn't work for 2 
responses, so we look for a multivariate simtest.


Thanks for your advice!



So our data:
#read the data file
 >tous_y <- read.table("moyenne.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t", 
na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE)
 >lg<-as.factor(c(rep("anglais",6),rep("allemand",6),rep("arabe",6),rep("espagnol",6), 
rep("italien",6), rep("portugais",6), rep("francais",6)))
 >tousy<-data.frame(tous_y,lg)

#simtest for only one response
 >summary(simtest(F1_nearey~lg, type="Tukey", data=tousy))
