Data Input

The AgroR Shiny App allows the entry of data from files in .csv extension (Separated by comma, period or semi-colon), .xls or .xlsx. The data entry parameters change according to the number of factors.

Note: The tabulation of data must be done in columns, each one being represented by a factor or response variable according to the number of categories

Analysis

The 'Descriptive Analysis' tab, in 'Summary', calculates the mean, median, sample variance, sample standard deviation and general and separate coefficient of variation according to the factor levels
In this tab, under 'Graphics', general box plots are returned, separated by factors.

The experimental sketch by the AgroR Shiny App is limited to the rectangular format. For example, in the case of an experiment in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications, a 5 × 4 or 4 × 5 matrix is returned.


In treatments, you can define the number of factor levels or write the name of the treatments separated by ';'. For example 5 or 1; 2; 3; 4; 5.

It is possible to change rows by columns through the 'Position of repetitions' window. This changes the matrix from 5 × 4 to 4 × 5 for example.

To add streets on the x and y axis via the 'Add streets x-axis' and 'Add streets y-axis' windows, type the number of columns with x or y axis you want to join. For example, suppose you have 5 rows and 4 columns and you want add a street between the second and third column, it must be add in 'Add streets in x axis' the following order 1;1;2;2

In the box 'Do you want to represent only identification?', if the option 'Yes' is checked, only the identification and a dataset.csv file will be returned.
In the box 'Do you want to fix a sketch?', it allows to always generate the same sketch layout. Provide the model in 'What is the model?'.

Data input

The AgroR Shiny App allows the entry of data from files in .csv (Separated by comma, period or semi-colon), .xls or .xlsx extension. The data input parameters change according to the experimental design and the arrangement of factors.

Note: The tabulation of the data must be done in columns, each one being represented by a factor or response variable according to the experimental design

Analysis

General Painel

The application performs fixed effects analysis of variance for all experimental designs. The analysis output is basically divided into: Anova, boxplot, assumptions, residual plot, supplementary tests (Averages or regression test) and one or more plots.

Anova

The application returns in the 'Anova' window, the analysis of variance frame.
In the case of corruption, one of the assumptions is returned a window warning of the invalidity of the model, as follows:
It is also in this window that the user provides information on the level of significance of the Anova and the complementary tests, as well as the need for data transformation, as shown in the following table:

Assumptions of analysis of variance


The assumption of normality of errors and homogeneity of variances is returned in the 'Assumptions' window. In this case, you can change the desired tests. The exception is for the error independence test, which only the Durbin-Watson test is implemented.

Standardized residuals chart


In the graphic window 'Graph of residuals', the graphic of standardized residuals is returned. In this topic, it is possible to identify the presence of outliers. In the graphic, limits -3 and 3 are used as a way of identifying these outliers.

Averages test or polynomial regression


In the graphical window 'Complementary tests', the average or regression tests are returned. In this topic, you must inform whether the factor or factors have qualitative (default) or quantitative levels. It is also in this topic that you define which average test you want to use and/or what degree of polynomial (in case of quantitative factor).

For the tests of averages, use 'tukey' (Tukey's test), 'sk' (Scott-Knott), 'duncan' (Duncan) and 'lsd' (Fischer's LSD)

In the case of more than one factor studied, such as a factorial scheme or subdivided plot, and when there is significant interaction, use comma separation to define the degree of the polynomial.

To choose the degree of the polynomial, use 0 (Not significant), 1 (linear), 2 (quadratic) and 3 (cubic).

Graphics

Finally, on the 'Graph' tab, one or more graphs are displayed according to the experimental project. It returns column, box, segment or regression graphs. It is in this tab that it is possible to change various graph parameters, such as color, font size, font, dimension, axis name, etc...


Independence from errors (Durbin-Watson)
Interpretation: p value higher than the adopted significance level (generally 0.05), the null hypothesis is not rejected (Errors follow normal distribution, treatments have the same variance and errors are independent).

Data insert

The AgroR Shiny App allows data entry in .csv extension (Separated by comma, semicolon or period), .xls or .xlsx. Data input changes depending on the number of factors

Note: Data tabulation must be done with variables in column

Analysis

General Painel

The application performs the dunnett test for experiments conducted in a completely randomized design and randomized blocks. The output of the analysis is basically divided into: Contrasts between treatments and a graph with confidence interval.

Definition of parameters for analysis

The application requires that certain parameters be defined before the analysis. In the window below, you must define the experimental design used:
Next, you must enter the data and define which column refers to the treatment and the response variable. It is also necessary to define which level of the factor is represented by the witness (the name must be identical to the one written in the worksheet)
Once entered the information, the user can click on the 'RUN' button:

Contrasts


Once the commands have been executed, the contrasts with the reference treatment are returned in the 'Dunnett's Test' window. This table returns the estimate of the contrast, the confidence interval (Lower and Upper), the value of the test statistic ( t), the value of p and whether there was a significant difference.

Plots

Finally, on the 'Graph' tab, a graph is returned with the estimates of contrasts and the confidence interval.

Analysis

General Painel

The application performs the Kruskal-Wallis or Friedman non-parametric test for experiments conducted in a completely randomized design and randomized blocks, respectively.

Definition of parameters for analysis

The application requires that certain parameters be defined before the analysis. In the window below, you must define the experimental design used:
Next, you must insert the data and define which column refers to the treatment and the response variable.
Once entered the information, the user can click on the 'RUN' button

Test statistics


Once the commands are executed, the 'Non-parametric test' window returns the test statistics and p value.

Post-hoc test


On the 'Complementary test' tab, the non-parametric mean test is returned (the value corrections can be changed using the button located below the experimental design.

Graphics

Finally, in the 'Graph' tab, a column, box or point graph is returned. Changing various parameters of the graph, such as color, font size, font, dimension, axis name, etc...
