Dear R list,

I am trying to fit a one way anova with just one factor and 3 levels. One of my levels is significant

> av2<-aov(site~Tryptophan, data=datafit)
> summary(av2)
            Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F)
Tryptophan   1  155.3  155.32   5.875  0.025 *
Residuals   20  528.8   26.44
---
Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1

But when I try to compute the Tukey test I get this strage warning message and no values but only NANs


> summary(aov(Tryptophan~as.factor(site), data=datafit))
                Df Sum Sq Mean Sq
as.factor(site) 21  31394    1495

> test<-TukeyHSD(aov(Tryptophan~factor(site), data=datafit))
Warning message:
In qtukey(conf.level, length(means), x$df.residual) : NaNs produced

> test

etc etc...

Could anyone help me or point me to the right direction?

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind Regards,
Valentina
