Pairwise Comparisons of the Factor Level Means I (14.1.4)
If H0 is accepted for interaction effect but H0
is rejected for one or more factor, we’d like is rejected for one or more factor, we d like to be able to tell which samples are different and by how much.
Factor A: perform multiple comparisons to
compare all levels simultaneously
– By computing the differences μI – μj for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ a among all a(a 1)/2 pairs of factor level ≤ a among all a(a – 1)/2 pairs of factor level means

Pairwise Comparisons of the Factor Level Means II (14.1.4)
If the CI for the difference μI – μj contains 0,
then factor levels i and j of factor A are not then factor levels i and j of factor A are not significantly different.
If the CI for the difference μI – μj does not
contains 0, then factor levels i and j for factor A are significantly different.
The CI indicates by how much the factor
l l h t b diff t level means are shown to be different.
If H0 is accepted for factor A, then all CIs will
contain 0, which means no significant difference between different levels of factor A
