Dear all,

I was wondering if you could give me any suggestions/help on the following
issue. So I carried out the analysis of my data using generalized linear
model (glm). After that, to check for multiple comparisons, I applied the
glht function from the multcomp package in R. The output, however, gave me a
warning (please see below). So my question is whether this warning is smth
that I should ignore or not. And if not, what I should do about it (I kind
of know how to deal with this problem for categorical factors, however, in
my data, one of the factors (AveScore) is continuous).

Thanks a lot!
