[R] Duncan test: 2-way ANOVA without repetition, but with multiple subjects

[Richard M. Heiberger]

You didn't say which package Duncan.test is in.  glht has the ability.
glht, and probably any other package's test, cannot work with aovlist objects.
They require aov objects.  That means you must rewrite your Error() statement
into the main model.  Please see the entire maiz example in ?mmc to see how
to rewrite your model.

## install.packages("HH") ## if necessary
require(HH)
?mmc
