I am dreadfully sorry I did not cc mail to you.

I overlooked the above-mentioned sentence.


BTW, I have another strange example of simtest. I want to know
why simtest returns these p-values.

-- example 1 -------------------------------
rm(list = ls())
require(multcomp)
y1 <- c(seq(3,7),seq(3,7))
y2 <- c(rep(c(6,7,8,9),7))
sort(runif(28),index=T) -> a
y3 <- numeric(0)
for(i in 1:28){
  y3[i] <- y2[a$ix[i]]
}
y4 <- c(y1,y3,14,18)

f2 <- factor(c(rep(1,10),rep(2,8),rep(3,8),rep(4,8),rep(5,6)))
dat2 <- cbind(as.data.frame(y4),f2)
summary(simtest(y4 ~ f2, data=dat2, type="Dunnett"))

> dat2

	 Simultaneous tests: Dunnett contrasts 

Call: 
simtest.formula(formula = y4 ~ f2, data = dat2, type = "Dunnett")

	 Dunnett contrasts for factor f2

Contrast matrix:
          f21 f22 f23 f24 f25
f22-f21 0  -1   1   0   0   0
f23-f21 0  -1   0   1   0   0
f24-f21 0  -1   0   0   1   0
f25-f21 0  -1   0   0   0   1


Absolute Error Tolerance:  0.001 

Coefficients:
        Estimate t value Std.Err. p raw p Bonf p adj
f25-f21    5.167  -4.644    1.022 0.000  0.000 0.000
f23-f21    2.875  -2.813    1.022 0.008  0.024 0.022
f24-f21    2.625  -2.569    1.022 0.015  0.029 0.028
f22-f21    2.125  -2.079    1.113 0.045  0.045 0.045
---------------------------------

I got the following inequality from the appended chart of a
book.

2.558 < d(5, 35, 0.4263464, 0.05) < 2.598

Are these "p adj" values right?
Or do I misunderstand some?
