Post hoc tests with ezANOVA output

问题

I tried to use TukeyHSD(my_anova$aov) but it gives an error:

Error in UseMethod("TukeyHSD") :
no applicable method for 'TukeyHSD' applied to an object of class "c('aovlist', 'listof')"

Google says that there is no way to post hoc with 'aovlist'. But maybe you have any idea about post hoc with ezANOVA output.

Example:

require(ez)
data(ANT)
rt_anova = ezANOVA(data = ANT[ANT$error==0,], dv = rt, wid = subnum, within = cue,return_aov = TRUE)

Try to use multcomp:

require(multcomp)
glht(my_anova$aov, linfct = mcp(cue = "Tukey"))

Error in model.matrix.aovlist(model) : 
  ‘glht’ does not support objects of class ‘aovlist’
Error in factor_contrasts(model) : 
  no ‘model.matrix’ method for ‘model’ found!

Try to use lme:

require(nlme)
lme_velocity = lme(rt ~ cue, data=ANT[ANT$error==0,], random = ~1|subnum)

Error in .Call("La_chol", as.matrix(x), PACKAGE = "base") : 
  Incorrect number of arguments (1), expecting 2 for 'La_chol'

回答1:

It's not that it's ezANOVA output but that it's a repeated measures ANOVA. The class 'aovlist' is typically for that. TukeyHSD is for independent designs. See this question and related links there.

回答2:

You don't give any reproducible code, but my guess is that you need to use the package multcomp:

require(multcomp)
glht(my_anova$aov, linfct = mcp(cue= "Tukey"))

(does not work with repeated measures aov, see @John's answer why)

===Update===

Your code works for me (R 2.15.2, nlme 3.1-105, multcomp 1.2-15):

> data(ANT)
> lme_velocity = lme(rt ~ cue, data=ANT[ANT$error==0,], random = ~1|subnum)
> glht(lme_velocity, linfct = mcp(cue= "Tukey"))
